Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
I
think
[the
legal
community
is]
worried
that
there’s
going
to
be
a
loss
of
independence.
People
worry
that
they
won’t
be
able
to
say
certain
things,
that
lawyers
won’t
be
able
to
represent
certain
people,
that
judges
will
be
intimidated
for
doing
certain
things.
There
are
a
lot
of
fears.
From
the
outside,
it
looks
like
the
administration
has
decided
to
see
how
far
it
can
push
the
boundaries
of
the
rule
of
law
and
see
where
it’s
resilient
and
where
it’s
not.
Law
schools,
in
some
ways,
are
less
vulnerable
than
other
parts
of
universities
because
they
don’t
get
as
much
direct
federal
funding,
[but]
it’s
still
tied
to
money.

Retired
Judge
Jeremy
Fogel,
who
serves
as
executive
director
of
the
Berkeley
Judicial
Institute,
in
comments
given
to
Law.com,
on
the
way
that
law
school
faculties
and
administrators
have
reacted
to
the
Trump
administration’s
attacks
on
the
legal
profession
and
the
rule
of
law.
“No
one
quite
knows
how
all
these
things
are
going
to
play
out,”
he
said,
going
on
to
refer
to
the
current
situation
as
one
that
since
the
Civil
War
has
been
“unprecedented
in
our
history.”
