Professor Jed Shugerman was mentioned in a Washington Post article for teaming up with a liberal advocacy group in writing a letter urging New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to dissolve Trump Organization Inc.
Unlike the foreign emoluments clause, which has never been used in court, Free Speech for People suggests Schneiderman employ a section of New York law that has been previously used to dissolve state corporations, including a fraudulent educational services company in 1994.
Two law firms, Emery Celli Brinckerhoff & Abady, as well as Clements & Pineault, led by former federal prosecutor Ben T. Clements, joined the group in writing the letter. Also joining is Fordham Law Professor and author Jed Shugerman.
