UC Berkeley Law Executive Education

Please join us for a discussion with key lawyers involved with representing and supporting Perkins Coie in the litigation and a leading expert on the legal profession.

In May, a federal judge permanently struck down the Executive Order, ruling it unconstitutional. Why did so many lawyers oppose the Executive Order? How did they find common ground? What obligations, if any, do lawyers have to continue to oppose such orders?

Perkins Coie challenged the order and over 500 law firms joined nonprofit legal organizations and law professors in filing friend of the court briefs in support of Perkins Coie.

In March 2025, the President issued an Executive Order which outlined several punitive measures against the Perkins Coie law firm and its employees for its past legal work.
