While Law Firms Bend a Knee to Trump, Others Choose Morality Over Money - Glenn Kirschner
In today's American it often feels like a battle between morality and money. The billionaires and the American oligarchs get richer at the expense of the middle class. The poor get poorer, and the Republicans seem determined to cut the social safety net out from under those who need it most.
Yet, while some bend the knee to the aspiring dictator in the Oval Office, others choose morality over money.
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Rachel Cohen to discuss with her how she close to leave big law just as several law firms were crawling into the Oval Office on their bellies and voluntarily giving their lunch money to the orange bully - choosing money over morality. Rather than be part of that moral decline, Rachel left big law and is now working as an "anti-authoritarian activist" in Chicago. - Glenn Kirschner - 12/24/2025.
