On April 23, Judge Beryl A. Howell held a hearing on “dispositive motions”—a plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and a defense motion to dismiss—in Perkins Coie v. U.S. Department of Justice. The firm is challenging President Trump’s March 6 executive order imposing crushing sanctions on the firm that threaten its ability to survive. The firm alleges that the executive order violates its First Amendment rights to free speech, free association, and to petition the government for grievances; its Fifth Amendment rights to due process; its clients’ Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights to counsel; and violates the Constitution’s separation of powers principles.
