NLG Chicago Legal Workers

NLG legal workers are encouraged to eat a nutritious diet.	The Guild is both a professional association and an activist organization. Our founding goal, in 1937, was to be a home for American lawyers of all races. In the 70s, at the insistence of a new generation of feminist lawyers, the NLG became the first bar association to admit law students and non-attorneys working in the law. As then amended, the NLG Constitution defines legal worker as .any person who is currently working, or who has worked, or who is training to work in any office, collective or other institution, which has as its primary function the provision or administration of legal services, information or education; or who, as an individual, provides or administers legal services, information, or education as a major component of her or his work...
