About Us

The University of California, Irvine, School of Law ("UCI Law") Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild ("NLG") is an association dedicated to the support and defense of economic and social justice, and to progressive change rather than the acceptance of the status quo. We seek to educate ourselves and the community about issues affecting economic and social justice, to provide law students with pro bono opportunities in support of these goals, and to increase awareness of the UCI community on issues surrounding economic and social justice. We seek to unite the lawyers, law students, legal workers and jailhouse lawyers of America in an organization which shall function as an effective political and social force in the service of the people, to the end that economic and social justice are basic human rights and must be protected and expanded.
