Like Big Tech, Big Law has a censorship problem

Last week, two prominent Supreme Court litigators, Paul Clement and Erin Murphy, resigned from the major law firm Kirkland & Ellis.

Clement is the former solicitor general. Murphy worked in the solicitor general’s office and has worked with Clement on many major cases in private practice. Their resignation came shortly after the Supreme Court announced its decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen. In its ruling, the court limited how New York could regulate carrying a handgun and put other state laws limiting guns into question.
