TRUMP ACCOUNTABILITY TEAM

History will remember the lawyers who engineered or defended the Trump Administration’s attacks on civil rights, immigrants, workers’ rights, the climate, and democracy itself.

In the meantime, these lawyers think they can launder their reputation with a cushy job in BigLaw or a fancy academic post—and their law firms don’t think their reputations or bottom line will take a hit. But we’re going to show the legal profession that there are consequences for hiring Trump’s legal architects and profiting off of the Administration’s heinous misdeeds.

Read and sign our open letter to let law firms and law schools know how many of us are watching. And law students, take our pledge that you will not interview with or work for law firms that continue to undermine our democracy.

TAKE ACTION

SIGN OUR OPEN LETTER

Everyone is invited to sign our open letter to let law firms and law schools know that we’re watching who they hire—and it had better not be Trump’s legal architects.

FOR LAW STUDENTS

Sign our pledge that you will not interview with law firms that are leading the charge to overturn the results of a fair election and undermine our democratic process.

What’s NEXT

STRATEGIC RESEARCH

We’re tracking the revolving door between the Trump Administration, BigLaw, lobbying firms, and other private bad actors helping to launder their reputations.

TAKING ACTION

We’re organizing creative, COVID-safe actions to name and shame bad actors in our communities and supporting organizers nationwide to do the same.

EDUCATING OTHERS

We’re drafting op-eds and petitions to shed light on how the Trump Administration’s elite lawyers spent the last four years standing up in court to defending the indefensible.

No Reputation Laundering for Trump’s Lawyers

As members of the legal profession, we urge legal employers, including law firms and law schools: Do not launder the reputations of these lawyers who, as political appointees or corporate counsel, have aided and abetted the Administration’s attacks on immigrants, civil rights, and democracy.
