ABA Sues Trump Over Lawyer Intimidation | JQJO

The American Bar Association (ABA) filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging that executive orders targeting large law firms unconstitutionally chill lawyers' ability to litigate, particularly pro bono work. The suit claims the administration's actions intimidate lawyers from suing the government, citing examples of cases dropped and firms avoiding potentially controversial litigation. The ABA argues these actions are part of a broader policy to suppress legal challenges. The DOJ has previously severed ties with the ABA, citing concerns about its impartiality.
