Hello All,
Please join us for our last event of the semester -- a Lawyers Guild
Legal Observation Training taking place next Saturday, April 26th.
Details are below.
After the training, you will be qualified to be a legal observer at
any march, rally or protest. This is a valuable skill for lawyers, law
students, or anyone interested in protecting free speech.
Also, check out our new blog,
www.ublg.blogspot.com, for news on last
week's UB Law Downtown referendum.
Thanks,
Anna
What: Legal Observation Training
Where: Mass. Ave. Project on 281 Grant St.
When: Saturday April 26th 2 p.m.- 4p.m.
This Legal Observation training is designed to teach law students,
lawyers and other interested individuals how to observe people
expressing political views in a way that protects and ensures their
constitutional rights. The Guild is known for its visible presence of
legal observers at large marches and protests (Guild Legal Observers
often wear neon green hats). Charlie Cobb, former director of the WNY
Peace Center, graduate of UB and current attorney at Cantor, Lukasik,
Dolce and Panepinto, will lead this 2 hour training at the
Massachusetts Ave. Project at 281 Grant St. Food and drinks will be
provided.
Mr. Cobb will cover legal observation at mass protests -- such as
those that will take place at the Republican and Democratic National
Convention this summer-- and observation at smaller, more local
events. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP to
