As part of the Law Day of Action rallying lawyers across the country, attorneys gathered in several California cities on Thursday to reaffirm their commitment to uphold the Constitution and to demand that the Trump administration respect the rule of law.
As helicopters roared overhead, dozens of lawyers gathered in downtown Los Angeles holding signs that read “We love our judges,” “Stop disappearing people now!” and “Everyone is entitled to due process,” among other slogans. Los Angeles County Bar Association President Sarvenaz Bahar denounced the “unprecedented threats” against the justice system, pointing to “the independence of the judiciary, the independence of the legal profession or our entire system of checks and balances.”
