That the connection to the rule of law issues is called out and flagged,” Diller told amNewYork Law in an interview. Since beginning his term, Diller has not shied away from raising red flags around the rule of law. He said that the bar association should be especially vocal around the mistreatment of immigrants and threats to free and fair elections. Earlier this month, the bar association sent a stern letter of opposition to President Trump’s nomination of Todd Blanche for U.S. Attorney General. Bringing the new generation of lawyers into the fold of the bar association is another area in which Diller thinks the City Bar is effective.
