518 Law Firms Amicus Brief in Support of Plaintiff

Key Excerpts

• Individuals at these firms hold a wide range of political, social and economic views—even with respect to the representations attacked in the executive orders. But despite those differences amici are united in their support for the integrity of the adversarial system and the rule of law.
• Like every lawyer, the members of the amicus law firms have sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution and to discharge the obligations of the profession to the best of our ability.
• That oath obligates all of us, no matter our political views, to be faithful custodians of our Nation’s commitment to the rule of law—a commitment that has made it possible for this Nation’s corporations to lead the world in innovation and productivity; for our scientists, scholars and creative artists to contribute so much to human progress; and for all of us to know that we can turn to the courts to vindicate our fundamental civil rights.
