The National Lawyers Guild, founded in 1937, is an association of lawyers, law students, legal workers and jailhouse lawyers dedicated to the proposition that human rights are more important than property rights.
The Mass Defense Committee of the NLG-NYC Chapter, which has been providing legal observers and lawyers for activists since 1968, is proud to offer its depth of experience and knowledge to activists organizing events surrounding the Republican National Convention this summer in New York City. We can be contacted at:
Mass Defense Committee
National Lawyers Guild, New York City Chapter
143 Madison Avenue, 4th Floor
New York, NY 10016
(212) 679-6018
(212)679-6178 (fax)
nycmassdefense@riseup.net
The Committee is coordinating its efforts to provide RNC Mass Defense legal support with the People’s Law Collective, the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys, the Center for Constitutional Rights, and the New York Civil Liberties Union.
ATTORNEYS
We are actively recruiting lawyers to provide pro-bono (free) legal representation. Ideally, we will find enough pro-bono lawyers to represent everyone who may be arrested at protests during the Convention. However, given the possibility of unprecedented numbers of arrests, we cannot guarantee we will be able to recruit enough lawyers to volunteer. That is why the Guild is also recruiting lawyers who would be willing to provide legal representation at “low bono” (substantially reduced) rates. In light of this, activists may want to make some contingency legal defense fundraising plans.
If you are a lawyer interested in helping out, please download our Attorney Questionnaire (PDF format), and mail or fax it to:
RNC Mass Defense

Fax: (212) 679-6178
If you are a lawyer and are interested in helping, but you do not have criminal defense experience, we will be offering CLE trainings this summer. Fill out and send us the our Attorney Questionnaire (PDF format) and watch our Calendar for upcoming trainings.

BTW......EVERYONE except the trapped man.
I WAS going to tell you to be careful what you're posting here. I had the feeling we were being monitored by some whacko group. (as usual)
IF anyone is wanting to meet up with someone for the convention, to buddy up for safety sake, PLEASE do so in FRmail. And then ONLY with someone YOU know well!!
TWISTED MAN, not Trapped Man!
Sorry, my friend.
Now we're really talking about the dark underbelly of humanity!
There was no FNC,no Rush,no Hannity,no FR back then.Today there is!Nobody can say that the crazies'actions are "spontanious",today.
I got the same idea based on his response to you. These people are like locusts, cockroaches, and termites... all destructive creatures who hate America. I'm so overwhelmed by these (Kerry/Clinton) insects that I can't sleep at night. The mere thought of a Kerry winning the election is unthinkable but still possible. If I were in a military combat zone, I'd be sh!tting bricks on January 20th, 2005.
Camera phones. Just call a buddy on FR to post the pictures.
Right you are. :-)
Bump. Thought so. I've never done it, so I wasn't sure.
Grin!!!
See post #86. Camera phones.
Here is one lawyer telling those lily-livered, Constitution-trampling sons of Marxist bitches to shove it. They make me so freaking ashamed!
Now. Now. Don't be so hard on yourself! :-)
So what? The hippie/yippie/KGB connection was the same setup.
Ha! My dad is a (retired) doctor (here in NY) who liked to talk about his dad and the department from time to time. :)
Vera Wang is a 'rat supporter/contributor/hanger-on. And I just don't want to get involved in nasty confrontations with these creatures.
You need to do your homework before attempting to troll us, fool.
Gee,newbie troll,maybe you're on the wrong forum. :-)
I have read that they intend to throw marbles under the mounted police horses, and also, to throw the dogs off the scent by nefarious means. This is getting unbelievable. What kind of people are these morons? There are several web sites that list what is being planned. Don't read them if you want to sleep tonight. If I were a witch, (and don't tell my sisters I'm not), I would cook up a spell to have a huge black cloud descend on them and scare
the heck out of them. HMMM Harry Potter where are you, when we need you?
