Among the dozens of sponsors of this week’s Democratic National Convention are three law firms-Greenberg Traurig; Hogan & Hartson; and Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck-and one lawyer, Stephen D. Susman, according to a joint report recently issued by the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington organization that tracks federal elections, and the Campaign Finance Institute, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization affiliated with George Washington University.
“This is the most important election ever in my lifetime for the legal profession,” said Susman, founder of Houston’s Susman Godfrey, who, with his wife, has given $280,750 to federal candidates since 2005, the CRP/CFI report says. “Unless we get a Democratic administration elected in November, the doors of the courthouses of this country will continue to close, victims will be further deprived of whatever limited rights they have now, and it will be a very difficult place for trial lawyers particularly, … to practice their profession.”
