The International Academy of Trial Lawyers Amicus Brief in Support of Plaintiff

Key Excerpts

• The Academy joins in this action and files this brief in support of the basic principle that lawyers and their clients have the right to sue the government, even when – and perhaps especially when - the government doesn't like it.
• The actions of the current administration demonstrate a contempt for the independence of the American legal profession and violate long-standing domestic and international standard which ensure that legal professionals can conduct their vital work without interference.
• United under the auspices of amicus and its unanimous Board, we vigorously support the unwavering integrity and stability of the adversarial system. We find it imperative now more than ever to protect, nurture, and defend the Rule of Law.
