A Message From the Editor

While law firm leaders have been mum on executive orders targeting Perkins Coie and Covington & Burling, we seem to be getting a picture of where associates stand on the issues. In our first item today, Amanda O'Brien reports on an open letter signed by associates from many Am Law 50 firms calling on their employers "to defend their colleagues and the legal profession by condemning this rapid purge of 'partisan actors,' a group that seems to be synonymous with those the president feels have wronged him." Read on for details. Also, a jurisdictional hiccup has wiped out sanctions a Pennsylvania attorney was facing for allegedly making false statements of law.

Thanks for reading!

– Max Mitchell, Regional Managing Editor
