Our firm is committed to the rule of law and to protecting the rights of our clients without regard to their political or other beliefs. Susman Godfrey’s lawyers and staff live these values every day. We are also deeply appreciative of those who supported us in this lawsuit, including our superb legal team at Munger, Tolles & Olson and the thousands of lawyers, former judges, law professors, and law students who submitted amicus briefs.”
  • Statement from Susman Godfrey on Day Court Issued a TRO, April 15, 2025: “This fight is bigger and more important than any one firm. Susman Godfrey is fighting this unconstitutional executive order because it infringes on the rights of all Americans and the rule of law. This fight is right, it is just, and we are duty-bound to pursue it. We are grateful the court directly addressed the unconstitutionality of the executive order by recognizing it as a ‘shocking abuse of power.’”
  • Statement from Susman Godfrey on Day TRO was Filed, April 14, 2025: “Susman Godfrey is seeking immediate relief from the administration’s unconstitutional executive order.

As officers of the court, we are duty-bound to take on this fight against the illegal executive order.“
