http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Lawyers_Guild"The National Lawyers Guild is a progressive Bar Association in the United States "dedicated to the need for basic and progressive change in the structure of our political and economic system."<1> Its members include lawyers, law students, paralegals, legal secretaries, "jailhouse lawyers", and other legal workers. It was founded in 1937 as an alternative to the American Bar Association and has several local chapters across the country as well as a number of Committees and Projects. The NLG web site lists the following aims:
to eliminate racism;
to safeguard and strengthen the rights of workers, women, farmers and minority groups, upon whom the welfare of the entire nation depends;
to maintain and protect our civil rights and liberties in the face of persistent attacks upon them;
to use the law as an instrument for the protection of the people, rather than for their repression.
Since its inception, the NLG has been noted for its support of liberal and left-wing causes. Currently, the NLG opposes the PATRIOT Act, corporate globalization, the World Trade Organization, and has called for the adoption of "the Plan of Action from the 2001 UN World Conference Against Racism, Xenophobia, and Related Intolerance." The NLG also helps to train and provide legal observers for political demonstrations. On the international front, the NLG has supported Palestinian rights and a number of other causes."
"At its founding in 1937, the National Lawyers Guild was the nation's first racially integrated bar association. Among the NLG's first causes was its support of President Roosevelt’s New Deal, which was opposed by the American Bar Association. NLG assisted the emerging labor movement, and opposed the racial segregation policies in the American Bar Association and in society in general"
