Join us April 7 to April 9, 2017 as the NLG Chicago Chapter hosts the NLG Midwest Regional Conference!
The NLG Midwest Regional happens every Spring when we come together to connect, share, learn, and grow our skills as legal practitioners for the People. This year, we will be focusing on strategies for resistance, community building, & developing the necessary skills for the challenges that are coming.
As always, join us Friday night for an out-of-towner welcome party. On Saturday we will be having panels on:
- confronting the carceral state
- responding to immigration challenges
- environmental justice, and
- surveillance of movements.
And, we will be gathering together Saturday night to connect and celebrate. Sunday morning we will caucus and share organizing experiences and skills. For local folks, we will end with a Legal Observer training on Sunday afternoon.
CLE credits available!
