"...to the end that human rights shall be regarded as more sacred than property interests."

The National Lawyers Guild is dedicated to the need for basic and progressive change in the structure of our political and economic system. Through its members -- lawyers, law students, jailhouse lawyers, and legal workers united in chapters and committees -- the Guild works locally, nationally and internationally as an effective political and social force in the service of the people.

Our 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.

NLG Chicago - 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? Click here to join.
