Donald Trump has launched an all-out assault on the nation’s largest and most prestigious law firms. While some have chosen to capitulate, others have chosen to fight. Washington Monthly Legal Affairs Editor Garrett Epps and contributing editor Anne Kim discuss the myriad ways in which Trump’s attacks on Big Law are unconstitutional and why it’s vital for firms to resist.
Garrett Epps is the legal affairs editor at the Washington Monthly.
