NLG National Day of Outrage
Panel Discussion on the Lynne Stewart Verdict - 2/17, 12:15 at DePaul Law School, 25 E. Jackson, Room 903.
Last Friday, veteran civil rights activist and longtime Guild lawyer Lynne Stewart was convicted on charges of conspiracy, providing material support to terrorists, and defrauding the U.S. government.
The National Lawyers Guild condemns this as an attack on lawyers who represent unpopular clients. Guild chapters throughout the country are organizing events for a National Day of Outrage this Thursday, February 17.
Here at DePaul, we will have speakers from the National Lawyers Guild, the Illinois Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Federal Defender, and other legal organizations as well as two community activists.
This event is to take place this Thursday at 12:15 p.m. in room 903 at 25 E. Jackson.
Please come to this very important emergency event and help to support Guild lawyer Lynne Stewart.
Please forward widely.
