 The National
Police Accountability Project (NPAP) was founded with the
intent of helping to end police abuse of authority and to provide
support for grassroots and victims’ organizations combating
police misconduct.
NPAP is an organization of plaintiffs’ attorneys who work on police misconduct
cases. The Project uses a variety of means to communicate with its members.
We are on the cutting edge of online continuing legal education with a members-only
listserv for sharing legal analysis, litigation strategy and information regarding
expert witnesses and other topics, and email bulletins regarding new cases and legal
developments. Throughout
the year we offer a number of continuing legal education seminars across the
country, taught by the most knowledgeable and dynamic experts engaged in police
misconduct litigation.
NPAP is a project of the National Lawyers Guild,
which was founded in 1937 as the first racially integrated national bar association.
For decades, Guild members have been at the forefront of the fight against police
misconduct through litigation and community organizing. The National Police Accountability
Project is a natural outgrowth of these efforts.
The National Police Accountability Project is located at 14 Beacon Street in
Boston Massachusetts along with the National
Immigration Project and
the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Lawyers
Guild.
The project provides:
- training and support for attorneys
and legal workers
- public education and information
around issues relating to police misconduct
- information and resources for
non-profit and community groups who work with victims of police
abuse
- support
for legislative reform efforts aimed at raising the level of police
accountability
- a
forum for legal professionals and community organizations
to come together and creatively work to end police misconduct
These
services are sustained by a national network of member attorneys,
police accountability experts and NPAP staff. |
