A group of Harvard Law School alumni have initiated a letter-gathering effort, voicing concerns over recent executive orders that target law firms and their practitioners for representing particular clients. These alumni are urging the law school to express its support for fundamental legal principles and denounce the presidential directives in question.
The letter, which has so far attracted over 300 signatures, is yet to be submitted to the law school’s leadership. David Abromowitz, a 1982 Harvard Law graduate and an organizer of the initiative, indicated that the letter would be sent to HLS Interim Dean John C.P. Goldberg, the provost, and the president of Harvard after reaching a critical mass of signatories. Further developments on this initiative are reported by American Lawyer, highlighting previous instances related to these executive orders.
