💨 Abstract

Justice Sonia Sotomayor urged lawyers to defend the legal system amid ongoing attacks on federal judges and President Donald Trump's targeting of elite law firms. She emphasized the role of lawyers in championing lost causes and fighting current battles. This comes after Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson also defended judicial independence and condemned attacks on judges. The Supreme Court is reviewing appeals from the Trump administration, which has faced pushback on its agenda in lower courts.
