We are the local chapter of America's only bar organization that admits non-attorneys on equal footing with attorneys and law professors. Alongside lawyers, our members include paralegals, investigators, law students, and jailhouse lawyers. Together, we work through the law for fundamental social change.
Who we are
NLG Chicago's membership includes people who practice and teach law, provide support services for major firms and solo practitioners, work in community-based organizations, and study to be the next generation of progressive lawyers in Chicago, the Midwest, and America.
What we do
Our attorney members practice in nearly every area of the law, from criminal defense to personal injury and real estate. We are active outside the courtroom, conference room, and law library. You will see us in the streets. Where will we see you? Join now!
