Statement from AAJ President Tobi Millrood
"The insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 is an affront to the rule of law and justice. AAJ condemns this appalling lawlessness. A bedrock principle of the U.S. Constitution is freedom of expression and the right to peaceful protest. What occurred at the Capitol was not peaceful. As trial lawyers, we fight for justice and accountability, and those who committed criminal acts at the Capitol should be prosecuted. We commend Congress for returning to the business of the people to complete the election process that will result in the inauguration of the new President and Vice President. We remain resolute in our commitment to the rule of law and democracy in our nation."
