“The notion that we cannot have an orderly transition of government after an election is an affront, it’s an assault on all of the values that we hold dear. And so to be able to actually play even the smallest role in being able to vindicate those rights, it’s a real honor,” Rhee said.

Before the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol building one year ago, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison partner Jeannie Rhee was already in court over the actions of Proud Boys in Washington, D.C.
Paul Weiss, along with the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and the Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights & Urban Affairs, on Jan. 4, 2021, filed a lawsuit against the Proud Boys and its leader Enrique Tarrio over the destruction of a Black Lives Matter flag at a historic Black church in D.C.
