Organize for Thursday, February 17!
The National Executive Committee of the NLG calls on all Guild chapters to organize and to take part in local actions as part of a "National Day of Outrage" in response to yesterday's Lynne Stewart verdict, which we see as an attack not only on our cherished colleague and fellow NLG member but also on all members of the legal community who represent unpopular clients and causes. We are calling for this coordinated day of action to be held next Thursday, February 17 in your cities, towns, and, if you are a law student, at your school. We are putting together a list of suggested actions to take and will send this out ASAP. Please begin making arrangements and stay tuned for more information.
This will be just one step in our ongoing support for Lynne Stewart and in defense of all of those who take on controversial cases.
for all to know, the NLG is specifically a communist group.
This lawyer was convicted for doing STUPID things. It was not just passing notes, she was distracting guards so communications could be made directly to the translator.
This conviction was not the result of ideology, this conviction was a result of STUPID arrogance in a PRISON security setting.
How many people died before here stupid manuvers were caught?
The NLG is a hate group on par with any Nazi's of WWII.
uh, you do realize that the NLG is a left-wing wacko group that real lawyers wouldn't be caught dead in, don't you? I bet good ol' Southern Illinois University will have something going on at the law school. I have a few days to figure out a way to spoil their fun :-)
I prefer ground combat. Its more honest and less brutal.

First menstruation...next you'll want menopause....
Leave something for the gals...
NeverGore
A lot of scoundrels are prevented from producing and selling defective and dangerous products because honest and decent lawyers (there are some) will pound them at court. BTW McDonald's doesn't sell 180 Degree coffee any more. But it's not because they got considerate all of a sudden...
Before we had a world full of lawyers, people were expected to have a little common sense about things like climbing ladders. There was a lawsuit against the ladder manufacturer by the guy who fell from the ladder because he set it up on a pile of frozen manure next to the barn. The pile of dung became soft when the air temperature rose. Defective ladder?
The retarded need to be protected from themselves. I don't.
I found out something pretty amazing. The world is very dangerous and you can get killed or badly hurt if you forget things like the laws of physics or if you drive an automobile on highways full of speeding cars whose drivers are distracted and flawed human beings.
Afraid of physician malpractice? Don't go to doctors! Nobody is forcing us.
Even if half the citizens of the United States were lawyers, 100 per cent of us would still die of something.
While I'm still around, why do I have to share a big piece of what I earn with lawyers?
You are correct about one thing. We don't need scoundrels taking advantage of us....scoundrels disguised as a "profession."
Isn't Lynne Stewart that broad who communicated with her client's fellow terrorists?
Hey, maybe they'll consider it their pro bono work for the year! Yeeeee-haaaaa!
I'd prefer a day for Scrapple-Flavored, myself.
Is that what you had in mind? :-)
The other replies on this thread have answered my question. Nevermind.
MEMO TO NATIONAL LAWYERS GUILD: Sit down and STFU before we arrest all of you for supporting terrorism. But tell me, are you still a Commie front organ?
Nice to know info, from a lawyer unlike those described in scripture. Very nice profile BTW.
I suggest a National Day of Outrage for anyone that has ever seen a picture of this woman...Geeez she looks like Michael Moore's mom on testosterone....
Sedition is not a civil liberty.
Sad that you don't admit that lawyers are a very needful and good counterbalance to the nastiness of the strong and powerful. If you ever spill negligently hot coffee on your skin and get third degree burns and need skin grafts, and you don't want damages, that's up to you. I doubt that you'll be able to find a Mickey D's selling 180 Degree coffee, though. Don't want to be sued for malpractice? Don't make mistakes b/c you're lazy, stupid, using illegal drugs, or drunk. Pretty simple...
