<> The National
Lawyers
Guild is an association dedicated to the need for basic change in
the
structure of our political and economic system. 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 human rights shall
be regarded as more sacred than property interests. Our aim is to bring
together all those who regard adjustments to new conditions as more
important
than the veneration of precedent; who recognize the importance of
safeguarding
and extending the rights of workers, women, farmers, and minority
groups
upon whom the welfare of the entire nation depends; who seek actively
to
eliminate racism; who work to maintain and protect our civil rights and
liberties in the face of persistent attacks upon them; and who look
upon
the law as an instrument for the protection of the people, rather than
for their repression.>
