Kibler Fowler & Cave LLP stands in solidarity with over 500 law firms in support of Perkins Coie and the fundamental principles of the rule of law. We have proudly joined an amicus brief urging a federal court to permanently strike down the Executive Order that unfairly targets Perkins Coie, its attorneys, and clients. The Executive Order imposes severe penalties, including the revocation of its attorneys’ security clearances, the potential loss of clients that contract with the United States, and denial of access to federal buildings and facilities.
As highlighted in the amicus brief, “[o]ur adversarial system depends upon zealous advocates litigating each side of a case with equal vigor; that is how impartial judges arrive at just, informed decisions that vindicate the rule of law.” Every attorney at Kibler Fowler & Cave “ha[s] sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution and to discharge the obligations of the profession to the best of our ability. That oath obligates all of us, no matter our political views, to be faithful custodians of our Nation’s commitment to the rule of law—a commitment that has made it possible for this Nation’s corporations to lead the world in innovation and productivity; for our scientists, scholars and creative artists to contribute so much to human progress; and for all of us to know that we can turn to the courts to vindicate our fundamental civil rights. We therefore feel a special responsibility to stand up now to the unprecedented threat posed by the Executive Order at issue in this case and the others like it.”
Kudos to Munger, Tolles & Olson and Eimer Stahl for their leadership in spearheading this vital amicus brief on behalf of the legal profession. Together, we can uphold the integrity of the American legal system and preserve the rule of law for future generations.
