Constitution Prevails as DOJ Drops Suits Over Trump's Targeted-Firm Orders

The Justice Department dropped lawsuits against Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, Susman Godfrey, and Jenner & Block after federal judges unanimously ruled Trump's executive orders targeting those firms unconstitutional, vindicating the firms' challenge and upholding the constitutional right to counsel and the rule of law. Some firms had previously agreed to pro bono deals or other concessions, a move that drew criticism from parts of the legal community and praise from opponents of the orders.
