Summary
On March 21, 2025, President Donald Trump revoked Executive Order 14237, which previously targeted the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP for its alleged negative influence on American judicial principles. The revocation follows the firm's commitment to policy changes, including political neutrality in client and attorney selection, merit-based hiring, and providing $40 million in pro bono legal services for various causes. This move may influence other law firms to adopt similar reforms, potentially impacting the legal profession's role in promoting justice and equality, while also having political implications by showcasing a shift toward bipartisan engagement.
