Law Firms Face Backlash from Students Over Trump Collaboration

Law students are increasingly vocal about their desire to work for firms that oppose former President Trump, leading to tensions as some big law firms strike deals with him. This political tumult has prompted a slowdown in recruiting and hiring within the legal industry. Students at institutions like Georgetown University have taken action, boycotting recruiting events with firms they feel have compromised their values by collaborating with Trump. This backlash has caused firms to alienate potential recruits and sparked a wider debate about the ethical implications of their political alliances.
