The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) is the preeminent organization in the United States advancing the mission of the nation's criminal defense lawyers to ensure justice and due process for persons accused of crime or other misconduct.
California Attorneys for Criminal Justice
Since 1973, Justice has been part of our name, because Justice is our goal. From our initial membership of 60 lawyers, California Attorneys For Criminal Justice has grown to over 2,000 members and is the country's largest statewide organization of criminal defense lawyers and allied professionals. When defense team members and their clients need a strong advocate for justice in the legislature, the courts and the media, CACJ is there.
San Mateo County Bar Association
The mission of the San Mateo County Bar Association is to promote the honor and dignity of the legal profession, to educate its members, to foster the highest professional standards, to encourage collegiality and to maintain cooperation between its members and the judiciary, to furnish excellent indigent criminal defense, to assist the public in accessing legal services, to provide and recognize public service as it relates to this mission, and to advance the fair and effective administration of justice for all.
Our commitment: we help those in need who have no one else.
- Education is huge for us. We build schools and much more (building is the easy part). We train and fund teachers; supply the tools for learning: books, blankets, even volleyballs!; build and furnish school hostels - whatever is needed to make sure kids can actually get an education.
- Health care. We support hospitals and clinics, train doctors and medical assistants, and make sure that poor disabled kids get the surgery they need.
- Cultural preservation. We help Tibetans keep their culture alive – basic survival first: schools, health care, clean water and care for elders. For the future: the Tibetan Enterprise Fund. In Mustang, our restoration of ancient monasteries brings a new light to lost Tibetan art.
- STOP Girl Trafficking. We are passionate about saving girls from being sold.
- And let's not forget the tigers. We're all in this together.
