Election Protection Legal Leaders Participate in 2008 Leadership Institute

by Jonah Goldman

This past Monday and Tuesday, legal leaders from across the country visited Washington, DC for a two day Election Protection Leadership Institute co-hosted by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and Arnold & Porter LLC. Leaders participated in informational sessions and simulations geared towards developing a comprehensive understanding of the Election Protection program and its components. With topics ranging from Pre-November strategies and assignments to Litigation to Election Day protocols, our leaders were exposed to the entire breadth of the Election Protection program. The National Campaign for Fair Elections, along with the Lawyers’ Committee, would like to thank everyone for attending - Election Protection will be able to assist hundreds of thousands of voters this season. It wouldn’t be possible without you!
