Flint Taylor is a graduate of Brown University and Northwestern
Law School. He is a longtime National Lawyers Guild member
and a founding partner of the People's Law Office in Chicago, an

violence, and government misconduct cases for thirty years.
Among the landmark cases that Taylor has litigated are the Fred
Hampton Black Panther case; the Greensboro, North Carolina case against

of murder by the Chicago Police; death row inmate Aaron Patterson,
who was convicted on the basis of a false confession which was
tortured from him; and former death row inmate Ronald Jones. Taylor

Rights Law Reporter.
