Students participate in the following Mass Chapter programs:

Legal Observers
Law students are needed to act as legal observers at demonstrations.
To set up a legal observers training at your school, please contact our office.

Detention Working Group
Volunteers are needed to follow up on the June 29, 2005 report about the treatment of immigrant detainees in Massachusetts.

Law Student Mentorship Lunches
We connect law students and Guild lawyers for lunch (paid for by the lawyer), to give students a chance to meet one-on-one with an activist attorney working in a legal area of interest to the student. To join this program and request forms, please contact our office.

Street Law Clinic Project
Law students conduct workshops for community members on various legal topics, including landlord/tenant, workers’ rights, and stop and search.
Call 617-723-4330 to get involved.

Chapter Membership
Law students can join the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild at a special rate. We encourage you to join to network and begin working with progressive attorneys through Guild membership today. To join, click here.
