Roundtable on Executive Action Targeting Lawyers and Law Firms
Monday, April 14, 2025 5:30–6:30 PM
- LocationCheryl A. Chase Hall
- DescriptionIn recent weeks, the Executive has directly threatened, attacked and penalized lawyers and law firms. The Administration has fired Department of Justice prosecutors who previously investigated the President or will not act in accordance with the Executive's goals. The Administration has stripped some law firms of their security clearances, banned them from federal buildings, and threatened lawyers who litigate against the government. This Roundtable will discuss these current developments, the implications of the Administration's actions for the legal profession, and the legal profession's responses to these actions. Speakers include: Professor Emeritus Paul Chill (https://law.uconn.edu/person/paul-chill/)Dean Emeritus Timothy Fisher (https://law.uconn.edu/person/timothy-fisher/)Professor Leslie Levin (https://law.uconn.edu/person/leslie-c-levin/)Professor Lisa Perkins (https://law.uconn.edu/person/lisa-perkins/) Pizza will be served.
