NLG and the Jerome Hall Library are proud to present: The Radical Lawyering For Social Justice Collection - a curated selection of abolitionist literature. This began with an idea from our member Tajah Thomas, who collaborated with Professor Susan deMaine to acquire these books over the past summer.

NLG would like to thank Tajah and Professor deMaine for their outstanding efforts to add a collection of thought provoking reading to our library for future generations of Maurer students.

If you’re interested to enjoy a selection from the collection please stop by the circulation desk. Let us know what you’re reading! 📚

We, like millions across the nation, were shaken by Dobbs - the Supreme Court’s radical decision to deprive Americans of their bodily autonomy. While we mourn this dark turn in American jurisprudence, we, the students of this Indiana chapter, stand undaunted and undeterred in the fight for reproductive justice.

Our chapter has drafted a response to the recent Supreme Court decision in Dobbs. We intend for this statement to serve as the blueprint for a year of activism from this chapter.

For more information on how to help preserve reproductive rights in Indiana and beyond please visit our Linktree.

Members of our executive board attended Indy Pride Festival to support our LGBTQ+ community. A new wave of legislation and policy changes have threatened LGBTQ+ people across the nation. Our fall program will be heavily focused on celebrating gay culture, and organizing our student body to protect the rights of this vibrant community. 🌈

Although we are deep in the heart of final exams, we couldn’t end this school year without celebrating our incoming executive board. Congratulations to this fabulous team of leaders!
