Judge Scrutinizes Government’s Case Against Susman Godfrey in Alleged Discrimination Claims

In a recent hearing, U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan engaged in a thorough examination of the government’s claims against the law firm Susman Godfrey. The executive order at the heart of the proceedings asserts that Susman Godfrey was involved in “unlawful discrimination.” Judge AliKhan focused intently on the evidence supporting this claim, questioning Department of Justice attorney Richard Lawson for clarification. The case involved motions for summary judgment from Susman Godfrey and a dismissal motion from the government, with Judge AliKhan opting to reserve judgment.
