DESCRIPTION
Sponsored by the NLG Mass Incarceration Committee.
The panel will focus on the period from the late 1960's to early 1980's when progressive attorneys, many members of the NLG, stepped up to represent members of the BLA, FALN and other revolutionary groups. Other attorneys, including other members of the NLG shunned these revolutionaries. The panelists will be asked to address why they took on that representation, the political issues involved, the lessons they learned and how those lessons an help us today.
