From 1984 to 1988, Dohrn was employed by the Chicago law firm Sidley Austin, where she was hired by Howard Trienens, the head of the firm, who knew Thomas G. Ayers, Dohrn’s father-in-law. “We often hire friends,” Trienens told a reporter for the Chicago Tribune. However, Dohrn had not been admitted to the New York or Illinois bar even though she had passed both bar exams; she did not submit an application to the New York Supreme Court’s Committee on Character and Fitness, and she was turned down by the Illinois ethics committee because of her criminal record. Trienens said of the Illinois rejection, “Dohrn didn’t get a [law] license because she’s stubborn. She wouldn’t say she’s sorry.”
Dohrn was criticized for comments she made about the murders of actress Sharon Tate and retail store owners Leno and Rosemary LaBianca by the Charles Manson clan. In a speech during the December 1969 “War Council” meeting organized by the Weathermen, attended by about 400 people in Flint, Michigan, Dohrn said, “First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, then they even shoved a fork into the pig Tate’s stomach! Wild!” In greeting each other, delegates to the war council often spread their fingers to signify the fork.
She is married to Bill Ayers, a co-founder of the Weather Underground.
Dohrn was a principal signatory on the Weather Underground’s “Declaration of a State of War” in May 1970 that formally declared “war” on the U.S. Government

Two of those arrested in Atlanta after far-left extremists torched the site of a future police training center, which they call “Cop City,” were members of the National Lawyers Guild. One of those attorneys, Thomas Jurgens, is an attoney with the Southern Poverty Law Center, which defended his precense as a legal observer at the site of the demostration.
Jurgens can be seen wearing the customary green hat in video from the night of the attack. He was accused of domestic terrorism and was granted $5,000 bond after his arrest.
His status as an attorney with the National Lawyers Guild as a legal observer, however, was brought into question by Kyle Seraphin, a former agent with the FBI.

“The ‘legal observers’ in Portland,” Seraphin said, “were linked via radio to the Antifa mob and acting as countersurveillance and spotters for the Antifa security elements. This ‘legal observer’ faces charges for domestic terrorism, so I’m comfortable guessing the local cops saw through the veil.”...
