The Heart of Legal Advocacy: Standing Up for the Rule of Law
Would you hire a law firm that folds under pressure?
In this clip from See You In Court, Lester Tate and Lynne Borsuk discuss why true legal advocacy demands heart, strength, and courage—especially when representing unpopular clients. When large firms capitulate to outside pressure, it doesn’t just affect their reputation—it threatens the independence of the legal profession and chills advocacy across our system of justice.
Listen now and hear why Georgia lawyers are speaking out to protect the rule of law and the right to fair representation for all.

Speaking Out in Georgia: Defending the Rule of Law
In this short clip, attorney Seth Kirschenbaum reminds us that speaking up for justice can come with risks—but silence carries far greater ones.
“There’s even potential danger for people that stick their heads above the parapet and say, ‘Wait a minute, what the administration is doing here is wrong and it violates due process or it’s an attack on the rule of law.’”
As part of the Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law, Kirschenbaum and more than 400 Georgia attorneys are standing together to protect judicial independence and uphold the rule of law across the state.
