At Murray Plumb & Murray, we believe that the rule of law is the foundation of our democracy—and that protecting it is not just a professional duty, but a moral one.
That’s why our attorneys helped lead a movement to unite almost every Maine law firm in signing a declaration supporting the rule of law in the United States. Maine’s lawyers are leading the way nationally in publicly uniting in support of this important constitutional principle. The declaration reinforces the legal community’s responsibility to defend the integrity of our legal system, rejects efforts to undermine the judiciary, and affirms that no one is above the law.
You can learn more about the declaration and the movement behind it at maineruleoflaw.org. Murray Plumb & Murray partners Chris Branson, Peter Murray and Kelly McDonald are members of the steering committee of Maine Lawyers for the Rule of the Law.
This important topic was also the focus of today’s episode of Maine Calling on Maine Public, which explored the state of the rule of law in America, including recent challenges to judicial independence and the role of lawyers in safeguarding our democracy.
