“We are proud of the battles we have fought and won, the progress we have made. We also look to the future, to the ongoing struggle that will be borne by a new generation of activists and leaders, including those in the legal community who are mobilized so effectively by the Lawyers' Committee in the fight for racial and social justice in America.”
Executive Director Barbara R. Arnwine
“The Lawyers' Committee has helped to change our society for the better, through educational outreach, research and reporting, litigation and legal advocacy. With our partners throughout the legal community, we will continue to mobilize the power of the private bar to inspire people to stand up for civil rights and seek economic, social and racial justice for all Americans.”
