The National Lawyers Guild’s Mass Defense Program is proud to prepare educational guides, manuals, and resources that are responsive to current events and state repression. Our public materials are freely accessible.
We also create responsive members-only materials, which you can access by becoming a member: nlg.org/join
Please note that these resources may be outdated given the quick changes in laws and their enforcement. Consult a local attorney for additional questions.
