Law students organize to give Trump-caving firms a recruitment problem (April 2025)
https://www.allrisenews.com/p/skadden-students-georgetown“Fascist Attacks Tracker”
After Trump signed executive orders singling out law firms for political retribution, the students recorded BigLaw’s responses in a document they titled “Legal Industry Responses to Fascist Attacks Tracker.”
The Google spreadsheet currently names more than 800 firms, assigning them to one of five stark categories: “Caved to Administration,” “Complying in Advance,” “Other Negative Action,” “Stood Up Against Administration’s Attacks,” or “No Response.”
The document started out a resource to help fellow Georgetown Law students make informed decisions about potential future employers.
Mari Latibashvili, one of the student organizers, said in a phone interview: “We didn't know how big this was going to get. It was just giving the students the opportunity to see what the firms that they were considering were doing and to show them alternatives.”

Interesting. And a lot of effort.
