Bill Quigley - Revolutionary Lawyering (Washington U Journal of

Good people,

Thanks for the 411 on this great-sounding article. I look forward to reading it.

Some friends and I will publish a related sociolegal essay in the December issue of the California Law Review, The New Student Insurgency: A Critical Epistolary.

I'll presenting on at the annual Latina/o Critical Theory conference in October and hope to connect with others who organize law students and the legal professionals they/we become to help coalesce broad-based progressive student power.

Much love,

Marc-Tizoc

Friends:

Washington University just generously published my

article, "Revolutionary Lawyering."

In the conclusion I write:

"There are enough lawyers in this world defending

the way things are. Plenty of lawyers protect people

and institutions engaged in injustice in our social,

economic and political systems. Plenty of lawyers

work for structures perpetuating and increasing the

racism, militarism and materialism in our world. They

are plentiful and well-compensated. True structural

fundamental change will not come by aiming at small

revisions or reforms. If we are going to transform our

world, we need lawyers willing to work with others

towards a radical revolution of our world. We need no

more lawyers defending the status quo. We need

revolutionaries."
