Training for Lawyers Defending Protestors
National Lawyers Guild Madison is working to build their pool of attorneys who will take cases after arrests happen at civil demonstrations.
Their goal is to train attorneys who may not be familiar with criminal law and pair them with attorneys who are familiar to grow our pool of attorneys who can take these cases when the time comes.
