Know Your Rights Trainings: Students from the L&C NLG Chapter are now offering Know Your Rights Trainings for community groups. Trainings provide information about how people can make use of their constitutional rights to have more informed interactions with law enforcement, including: individuals’ rights to walk away, to remain silent, and to be free from unreasonable searches. Please contact nlg@lclark.edu for more information, or to set up a training.

Mentor Program: Based on area of interest, students have been matched with Portland Guild attorneys. If you are mentor-less or mentee-less, send an email to nlg at lclark dot edu and hopefully we can match you up!
