Jenner & Block , and WilmerHale , two large law firms, sued the administration to challenge Trump executive orders targeting them and their clients.

Two separate judges later Friday issued temporary orders blocking parts of the orders against the Jenner , Wilmer firms, citing likely First Amendment violations.

The staying power of the pushback on Trump remains uncertain, even if the orders are found unconstitutional.

Skadden Arps agrees to provide $100 million in pro-bono legal work to avoid restrictions the White House might try to place against it.

The White House is winding down its efforts to issue executive orders against firms, with a small number still in the works.

Lawyers in the legal industry are harshly criticizing the willingness of law firms to make concessions to Trump .
