Attacks on U.S. Legal Profession Reflect Global Slide in Countries It Once Aided
Abstract
Crackdowns on the legal profession — lawyers, judges and prosecutors — are part of a longstanding authoritarian playbook used around the world to silence dissent. Europe and Eurasia alone provide a plethora of examples — from European Union member Hungary — and previously Poland — to Belarus, Russia, Georgia, and Kyrgyzstan — governments seeking to centralize control have openly and systematically targeted those who defend the rule of law.
