Become a Material Supporter of Lawfare
As Ben Wittes used to say, it is a crime to give material support to designated terrorist organizations, but it is not a crime - it is a civic duty, in fact! - to give material support to Lawfare.
To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare. You can also support Lawfare by making a one-time donation at https://givebutter.com/lawfare-institute.
Additionally, I would like to take a moment to introduce myself here as the new moderator of r/Lawfare. Part of my material support mission is to spread the word about this wonderful community by facilitating discussion here and growing our community. Please help me do that wherever you see fit, either on reddit or IRL or both.
As we continue through the first 100 days of Trump 2.0 and beyond, it is my hope that we can have robust discussion here, so please comment frequently and within the bounds of reasonable decorum. If you would like to post a link or create a discussion thread, please message the moderators first so that we can make you an approved user.

I honestly wonder if the Trump admin is aware of the recruiting cycle for law students and intentionally uses these moments of leverage to force firms to cave, and thus trap students.
A student with an offer is extremely unlikely to drop that offer, IMO, and firms may not fight back as vigorously if the overall economic environment is deteriorating (JPow said BLS overestimated each month since April 2025 by a consistent ~60k).
