The National Lawyers Guild is dedicated to the need for basic change in the structure of our political and economic system. We seek to unite lawyers, law students, legal workers and jailhouse lawyers to function as an effective force in the service of the people, to the end that human rights shall be regarded as more sacred than property interests.
