Lawyers Guild about:


Status of criminal cases, and

How to be part of civil lawsuits regarding issues such as:

*Unlawful arrests

*Denial of access to attorneys

*Excessive use of force

*Mass preventive arrests

*Conditions at Pier 57

*Excessive detentionsThere is no immediate deadline for being part of a civil lawsuit. You have
90 days from the time of your arrest to file a Notice of Claim to bring an
action in state court, and a far longer period for filing in federal court.
Also, you can be part of a civil lawsuit even if you took an ACD
(Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal). You can still be part of a
civil lawsuit even if you can't come to the meeting. Watch your email and
here for more details in early October.
