@HamLincLaw
Free-market public-interest litigation firm, led by @annastjohn and @tedfrank. New home of @CCAF. Free speech, separation of powers, class action fairness.
- 17-year-old high-school senior Rajan Gupta wants to demonstrate in favor of vaccination. The state of California criminalizes that when it’s not done as part of labor picketing. That violates the First Amendment, @USConst_Amend_I, and we’ve sued.
- “We hope this deters other states from trying to unconstitutionally chill the speech of attorneys.” — @tedfrank
- Replying to @HamLincLawAttorneys are billing temporary contract attorneys doing document review at $500/hour, when wealthy clients pay maybe a tenth of that for the same work. Overbilling the poor citizens of #Flint for this is unconscionable.
- If you made a claim for $125 from Equifax, you're not getting it after court awards nearly $80 million to attorneys
- 🚨HLLI Sues Anti-Israel Activists Over Traffic Blockades at O’Hare Airport ⚖️ Link to full press release in thread
- 🚨We just filed a lawsuit against the organizations and individuals who illegally blocked traffic in a pro-Hamas traffic blockade.
- ⚖️HLLI Wins @MrReaganUSA Case Against California Law That Outlawed AI-Generated Political Satire 📢 On Aug. 29, a federal court struck down a CA law banning AI-generated political satire. HLLI, representing YouTuber Christopher Kohls (“Mr Reagan”), secured this 1A win🧵
- ⚖️ We, along with @slatestarcodex and @maximlott, filed an official comment with the CFTC urging them not to ban election prediction markets in the US. Thank you to @FrankBednarz,@aeschulman, and @tracewoodgrains for your work on this. (Link to comments in next Tweet)
- 🚨 @tedfrank , our co-founder and director of litigation, is taking the stage alongside @RonColeman, @JoshMBlackman, and @BurnhamDC for a panel, The President vs. the Courts at @NatConTalk. @InezFeltscher will moderate the conversation.
- We’ve brought a first amendment suit in Missouri against a law that seeks to limit pharmacist speech about certain drugs. Today it’s ivermectin, but tomorrow it could be puberty blockers. Or could target attorneys and their opinions about legal issues.
- Nice win for @CCAF today in the Northern District of California. $15.2M more for Wells Fargo shareholders after we challenged an oversized fee request based on illusory injunctive relief. hlli.org/in-re-wells-fa…
