Over 1,100 law school students signed on to a brief supporting Susman Godfrey’s suit against the Trump administration. Thirty percent of these signers are enrolled at T-14 law schools.
Law school students turned out en masse in support of Susman Godfrey, with over 1,100 students signing onto an amicus brief filed Wednesday supporting the firm’s litigation to enjoin an executive order threatening its attorneys and clients.
While law firms have also demonstrated support for their colleagues litigating against the government, only 16 firms from the Am Law 200 have signed amicus briefs supporting Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, and Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale & Dorr. Comparatively, roughly 30% of signers on the law student amicus brief came from the top 14 law schools in U.S. News & World Reports most recent rankings, which typically serve as feeders for Big Law.
