National Lawyers Guild (NLG)

The National Lawyers Guild (NLG) is a non-profit organization in the United States that brings together lawyers, legal workers, and law students to advocate for social justice and human rights. Founded in 1937, it emphasizes progressive legal practices and aims to address issues like racial and economic inequality. The NLG provides legal support for marginalized communities, offers training for legal professionals, and engages in activism to promote civil liberties. It stands as an alternative to traditional bar associations, focusing on the intersection of law and social justice movements.
