National Lawyers Guild

They are a group of progressive Lawyers. They defend countries like Cuba and other countries that are effected by imperialism. In 2003 (not to sure) they went to the DPRK and gave a report that contradict alot of what DPRK pressure groups have stated about DPRK.

Anyway if you going to be a lawyer and are politicaly progressive check this out.

You would love this book. Please buy it

'Ambulance chaser' by Richard Beasley.

Essentially its about how evil insurance companies are.

Christopher Blake is bankrupt after twelve years as a human rights lawyer, and is severely depressed. His girlfriend celebrates the New Year by having sex in the bathroom – but not with Chris. After parting ways with the girlfriend, Chris gets a job with South Pacific Group Insurance as an ambulance chaser, which makes a change from the only work he could do after his bankruptcy - giving pro bono advice at a legal centre, advice such as how to sue a cat that has murdered a client's budgie. This job keeps the wolf from the door and brings Chris into contact with Gabriella, a Catherine Zeta-Jones look-alike. The South Pacific Group Insurance is the world's fastest-growing insurance company, and it is jokingly said that injured plaintiffs should just stop moaning and die, as a lump sum death payout is cheaper for the company than a constant monthly payout. But it seems less funny when Chris notices that injured plaintiffs happen to be dying at an alarming rate. Chris decides to conduct his own investigation into South Pacific Insurance and is plunged into an
uproarious adventure as he gets to the bottom of the story.

Richard Beasley is an Australian Author, and is a practising Barrister in Sydney. His main character, Christopher Blake, has the typical droll sense of humour that Australians seem to be typecast with. Gabriella makes a wonderful investigative partner plays the straight man (woman?) to Chris. The Australian legal system, international law and large corporations are all in Beasley's lined up for the kill, as he gently knocks each and everyone. Once the laughter has stoped, the book leaves you with the thought – could this be true? Makes you think and laugh at the same time.

I'm not implying anything.

It is possible that the book is not that non fiction.

If your goal is to be a jack off pinko then invade this forum with irrelevant bullshit, and post rubbish about "progressive lawyers" whom defend those whom subscribe to outdated economic theories.

and ignore this thread and keep your mouths shut

You should keep your mouth shut, since you did after all post this in a public forum.

because you havent contributed anything usefull to this thread so far.

And this thread hasn't contributed towards anything within this forum.

What a waste of time.

 

[Jesus!]

* to eliminate racism;
* to safeguard and strengthen the rights of workers, women, farmers and minority groups, upon whom the welfare of the entire nation depends;
* to maintain and protect our civil rights and liberties in the face of persistent attacks upon them;
* to use the law as an instrument for the protection of the people, rather than for their repression.

The goals seem fine

 

[gemita]

Yeah, I thought it seemed pretty balanced. It's not like they're proposing to reveal major conspiracy theories or anything - it seems like a positive and rational enough outlook.
