Forced arbitration has let corporate America get away with screwing over workers and consumers for too long. We have to pass the #FAIRAct so that we can #EndForcedArbitration.
Take two minutes and ask your representation to co-sponsor the FAIR Act ⬇️

If the Federalist Society won’t sever ties with its members who incited the January 6 attack on our democracy, it's time for the legal profession to sever ties with it. To our fellow lawyers & law students: it's time to #QuitFedSoc.

Hey, ummm academic lawtwitter, this is gonna get uncomfortable, but we really, really, really need to address the way that law schools elevate and embolden white supremacist students by treating their overt racism as intellectual discourse.
To be clear, there should be #NoCorporateImmunity at the state level either.
There is zero rational reason to make it HARDER to hold accountable a business whose intentional misconduct causes someone's infection with COVID-19.
In a video forum Monday evening, BIA President Jim Roche said the group would renew its efforts to establish the protections after initially advocating for them at the start of the coronavirus pandemic in spring. https://t.co/JYuwDd728S
Call us crazy, but we think the pandemic relief package should actually provide relief to workers rather than just another handout to McConnell's corporate buddies. Limiting pandemic liability would directly incentivize and facilitate the spread of COVID-19. #NoCorporateImmunity
The McConnell corporate immunity plan would eviscerate any claims brought by workers, consumers, and patients. It's a non-starter and @SenatorShaheen and @SenatorHassan should vote against any relief package that includes this dangerous legislation.
For months, students have called on Congress to prioritize the health and safety of students and campus workers & communities, not corporate profits.
Tonight, we sent a leader to @senatemajldr & @SpeakerPelosi demanding there be #NoCorporateImmunity in the COVID relief package.
If 2020 has taught us anything, it's that the system isn't working. We're organizing law students and lawyers to unrig the law, building a movement that will fight for a legal system that values people over profits.
This #GivingTuesday, we hope you'll give to support this work.
We’re calling on all members of the legal profession, from students to attorneys, to join us in speaking out: legal employers cannot launder the reputations of Trump’s legal enablers. They must be held accountable.

Thanks to the tireless work of organizers and activists who believe in a better future for our country, we now have the opportunity to fight like hell to undo the damage of the past 4 years and make lasting progress for workers and our democracy in the next 4. What's our plan?
Tonight, the United States Senate voted to confirm Amy Coney Barrett, a far-right extremist, to a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court. They confirmed her in spite of the fact that we are 8 days from the end of an election in which 60 million votes have already been cast. (1/4)
Hear from 3L's Sofia Hyatt and Victoria Saxe, who successfully advocated to eliminate the mental health questions on the NH Bar Exam, and many members of the legal community on mental health and the practice of law https://t.co/MO0AN2AjHM #mentalhealth#lawschool#lawyers
Everything about the bar exam is shameful. This forced arbitration clause means we may never know the extent of the harm caused by the California bar if they continue to move forward with it. #DiplomaPrivilegeNow
Legal elites will always put prestige and power over the lives and rights of the people. They benefit from the system as is, which is why "liberal" law professors like Noah Feldman don't have a problem with putting Amy Coney Barrett on the Court.
The legal profession is toxic.
"Barrett’s view of the law is fundamentally cruel. . . . Barrett has either written or joined a remarkable number of opinions that harm unpopular and powerless individuals who rely on the judiciary to safeguard their rights."
