Ed. note<\/u>: Welcome to our daily feature, Quote of the Day<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The fewer lawyers and law firms willing to stand up for the Constitution, the fewer cases that reach the courts to enforce the Constitution. This is the stuff of authoritarian rulers, not American Presidents. We as lawyers should follow the lead of courageous counsel standing up to these attacks at Williams & Connolly defending Perkins Coie. The rule of law is at the core of our functioning republic and the many freedoms we enjoy in America\u2014and it\u2019s under attack today, perhaps like never before.<\/strong> We as lawyers are tasked\u2014or more precisely, entrusted\u2014with protecting the rule of law. Suit up, friends. The fight has just begun.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 David Cross<\/a>, a global antitrust litigation partner at Goodwin Procter, in a LinkedIn post<\/a> decrying the Trump administration\u2019s executive order targeting Perkins Coie<\/a>. The firm received a temporary restraining order<\/a> earlier this week with the assistance of Williams & Connolly<\/a>. Cross\u2019s post is one of the few public responses to come from the Biglaw ranks, but still, Biglaw leadership remains silent<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
