Not really a great rep for a firm of hard-nosed litigators.[/quote]

This will sort out the wheat from the chaff though. People hire lawyers at these rates to take on tough cases and win. Not wimp out. [/quote]

I'm sure that these agreements are not legally binding because they were clearly made under extreme duress and illegal threats. 
People also hire lawyers who understand which way the political winds are blowing and do not take on matters/clients that could hurt their reputations.  I have worked in BIGLAW for many years and saw numerous potential matters declined even though there were no conflicts and the client would pay our rates without complaint (or at least no more complaint than any other client).  The firm did not want to be pulled into potentially controversial situations.[/quote]

Well now Skadden and Paul Weiss have agreed to forfeit their discretion and take the cases Trump mandates. The deals are shockingly bad in terms of being able to do what you claim is fundamental to Biglaw - select your client. [/quote][/quote]
