Law and Disorder September, 2004

Last month, nearly half a million protestors took to the streets to march against the Republican National Convention , the Iraq War and various other causes, in one of the most peaceful gatherings New York City has seen. Demonstrators marched in the hot sun for nearly four hours from 14th and Seventh Avenue to Herald Square and back down to Union Square. But as the carnival-like atmosphere continued inside the RNC, an atmosphere of unpredictability gripped the streets as police used dragnet tactics to round up protestors.

Among the Guests: National Lawyers Guild Attorneys – Elizabeth Fink, Margaret Ratner Kunstler. Also, Ellen Yaroshevsky, on the Lynne Stewart defense team and a Professor of Law at the Cardozo Law School
