Trump administration to pursue appeals in law firm executive order cases, reversing course
Published on March 3, 2026.
The U.S. Justice Department has announced it will pursue its appeal to President Donald Trump's executive orders against four prominent law firms, including Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, and Sampson. This comes a day after the administration sought to withdraw its appeals in the cases. The government had previously appealed after federal judges struck down executive orders targeting these firms.
