AG Raoul co-led a coalition of 21 attorneys general today in filing an amicus brief supporting law firms challenging unconstitutional executive orders that imposed severe sanctions on the firms in retaliation for doing work disfavored by the Trump administration.

“Attacking attorneys based on who they represent, who they hire, or because their client may take a position that is not favored by the government threatens our First Amendment rights, right to counsel and the independence of law firms. I join my fellow attorneys general in asking the court to uphold the rulings blocking these orders. As our states’ top legal officers, we stand with all our colleagues in the legal community who stay true to the ideals and values of our profession.” – AG Raoul
