In Non-Compliant Episode 35, Host Jay Edelson, nationally recognized plaintiff’s attorney and Founder of Edelson PC, is joined by J. Eli Wade-Scott, former Skadden Fellow at Legal Aid Chicago and law clerk to the Honorable Rebecca Pallmeyer of the Northern District of Illinois, and current Partner at Edelson PC.

Jay and Eli discuss former President Trump’s lawsuits against Twitter, Google and Facebook for banning him from the platforms in (supposed) violation of the First Amendment, each filed as a proposed class action case with Trump as the lead plaintiff (5:15). Jay shares his views about the true purpose of the suits, and they both analyze Courts’ willingness to sanction the former President and his lawyers for filing yet more frivolous cases. (21:30).

Next, Jay and Eli open a window into how the firm works through case strategy and discuss how they’d approach Trump’s suit if they were defending the platforms (28:00). Finally, they ponder what it means for Big Tech to be able to boot people out of the digital public square.
