Leslie Levin Quoted in Bloomberg Law News

Professor Leslie Levin spoke with Bloomberg Law News about a recent case in which a law firm fired one of its attorneys for a social media post appearing to criticize slain activist Charlie Kirk, and the need for firms to allow attorneys independence to express their views.

“Just as law firms claim the importance of lawyers maintaining their independence so they can stand up for certain political issues, they shouldn’t be firing lawyers, in most cases, for expressing their political views,” Levin said.
