Die gute Nachricht

Manche beschweren sich, dass es hier zu viele Negativ-Schlagzeilen gibt. Kann ich nachempfinden. Deshalb hier mal eine #gutenachricht:

Ra­chel Cohen wird "Lawyer of the Year"

Sie stell­te sich öf­fent­lich gegen eine Reihe von An­grif­fen der #Trump-Re­gie­rung auf US-Gro­ß­kanz­lei­en und kün­dig­te als Zei­chen des Pro­tests sogar ihren Job als As­so­cia­te bei Skad­den. Dafür wurde sie nun vom #Recht|s­ma­ga­zin Above the Law als An­wäl­tin des Jah­res 2025 aus­ge­zeich­net.

"Sie hat den Angehörigen der Rechtsberufe neue Hoffnung gegeben, sich für #Demokratie und #Rechtsstaat|lichkeit einzusetzen, und verdient großen Dank von allen Anwältinnen und Anwälten in Amerika".

Legal AF's Substack

I've been waiting for just over a week for the folks at TMR to clip this interview with former Skadden lawyer Rachel Cohen so I could share it here. Not only is Cohen's inside baseball perspective on the cowardice of Big Law firms groveling before Trump an interesting watch, but she's also one of the few people with knowledge of the situation willing to state what *I* feel is pretty obvious - that the Trump regime's war on Big Law is about trying to restrict the number of lawyers and firms that will bring totally legitimate cases against their fascist policies and activities, through a sheer question of numbers and resources.

The clip is only about 15 minutes long, but I guarantee you that Cohen here is spitting more truth than you'll find in all the articles about Big Law's capitalist cowardice and craven surrender in media sources like the Washington Post, the New York Times, or the Wall Street Journal. It's worth the watch:
