Hello Friend,

Two recent federal court decisions have sent an important message about legal accountability and the need for lawyers to be held responsible for meritless claims made in lawsuits.

This week, Michigan Federal District Judge Linda V. Parker imposed sanctions on Sydney Powell, L. Lin Wood, and seven other lawyers for their roles in filing a November 25, 2020 lawsuit asking for a declaration that Donald Trump had won the Michigan presidential election.

Judge Parker’s decision leaves no doubt about the baseless nature of the claims and the consequences facing lawyers who similarly assert falsehoods before the court.

Earlier this month, United States Magistrate Judge N. Reid Neureiter of Colorado similarly imposed sanctions against the lawyers who filed a lawsuit that falsely claimed that machines manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems had deleted nearly 3 million votes.

LDAD applauds these decisions to hold lawyers accountable for violating their oath and for misleading the judiciary and the public.

We are continuing our work to hold others, including the Texas Attorney General, accountable for shirking their ethical obligations. You may follow along with our efforts on social media by following us on Twitter.
