Lawyers across the nation participated in the National Law Day of Action, a series of protests organized to push back against President Trump's criticisms of the legal system. The largest protest took place in New York City, where an estimated 1,500 lawyers, legal professionals, and concerned citizens gathered.
The demonstrations were a direct response to what organizers described as Trump's repeated attacks on judges, jurisprudence, and the very foundation of the American legal system. Protesters voiced concerns about the potential erosion of judicial independence and the long-term consequences for the rule of law.
While the New York City protest was the largest, similar events took place in other cities across the country. Participants emphasized the importance of an independent judiciary and the need to protect the integrity of the legal system from political interference. Many carried signs and banners with slogans supporting the rule of law and judicial independence.
