A federal judge ruled President Trump's executive order against Jenner & Block law firm unconstitutional, violating the First Amendment by targeting the firm based on its clients and causes. Judge John Bates stated the order attempts to stifle legal representation the administration dislikes, undermining the separation of powers. The ruling follows a similar decision against Perkins Coie. Jenner & Block expressed satisfaction with the court's decision to protect clients' rights to independent counsel.
