Key Excerpts

  • It is essential to the functioning of the legal system under our constitutional order that lawyers be able to represent clients in advancing positions with which the adverse party disagrees—otherwise there could be no “case or controversy” for the courts to resolve.
  • To permit government influence over parties’ access to counsel would set a dangerous precedent. It would compromise the integrity of our legal system and the security of all those participating in it—irrespective of what side of the political spectrum they may presently occupy.
