Mark Elias, leading Democrat election lawyer explains how the once prestigious New York firm Paul Weiss, Rifkind & Alexander folded.
Today, the New York Times helped give important context to the frustration I have felt and the problem we face.
In a long exposé, authors Michael S. Schmidt and Jessica Silver-Greenberg detail how one firm — Paul Weiss — “went from standing up to Trump to bending the knee.”
It is a startling account of greed, immorality, and cynicism. But mostly, it is a story of cowardice. As the Times explained, “Paul Weiss was a progressive stalwart for decades and led the legal resistance against President Trump in his first term. Then surrendered without a fight.”
