FIRM STATEMENT REGARDING SB1062
At Snow, Carpio, and Weekley, we strongly believe that lawyers who will not stand up for what is right outside of the courtroom, can’t be expected to do so inside the courtroom. Our firm has always taken pro-active stands on issues that affect our clients against the powers that would violate their rights. For example, the historic effort to recall former Senate President Russell Pearce, author of the infamous SB 1070, was hatched in our office, funded by our partners. Our attorneys and staff have been at the front of efforts to limit the abuses of Sheriff Joe Arpaio and former County Attorney Andrew Thomas. In similar fashion, we wish to speak out in the strongest terms against SB1062 which, apart from being unnecessary and divisive, could negatively impact many of our clients. We will continue to speak out against laws and institutions that we feel are unjust, following the maxim that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
