Why ‘Morally Ambitious’ Lawyers Should Join Plaintiffs Firms – Now More Than Ever

August 13, 2025

With fundamental rights under attack and the tools to defend them increasingly limited, lawyers face a stark choice: uphold the status quo or challenge it with courage and conviction.

A recent article in The Legal Intelligencer, titled “Why ‘Morally Ambitious’ Lawyers Should Join Plaintiffs Firms—Now More Than Ever,” makes a compelling case for the latter.

Authored by Zac Arbitman, George Donnelly and Cassidy Gruber Baruth, the piece challenges traditional perceptions of private practice. It argues that morally ambitious lawyers—those who want to do well while also doing good—should consider the plaintiffs’ bar as a powerful and practical avenue for social change.
