“Last month, #PaulWeiss removed a web page that had highlighted its ‘leadership in a court-ordered effort to find parents deported by the #Trump administration & to reunify families.’ Visitors to the page now get an error message, as do users looking for any mention of Paul Weiss's pro bono work on behalf of #LGBTQ people.”

And more from Lisa Needham:

"It certainly isn’t great that a major American law firm agreed to a deal so vague that the parties don’t even seem to agree on the terms. Paul, Weiss gave away its honor and autonomy for an agreement so broad and undefined it could have been sketched out on a napkin. Karp’s Sunday letter to the firm didn’t address the discrepancies at all, leaving everyone still wondering what, exactly, Paul, Weiss is doing."

From Margaret Sullivan today:

"Institutions with resources must resist thuggish bullying ... I argue that some principles are so central to an institution’s mission that to bargain over them should be unthinkable.

There are people and institutions who are resisting — the Associated Press, the law firm Perkins Coie, Georgetown University Law School, and many others — and they set a righteous example for us all."
