HANDS OFF PEOPLES LAWYER BARRY P. WILSON!!
DEMONSTRATE  September 8, 2014 @ 5:00PM ON

Board of Bar Overseers

99 High Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110

On  September 8, 2014 the Board of Bar Overseers will be hearing
charges against peoples lawyer Barry P Wilson alleging that he
“acted in a disruptive manner” in three separate court
proceedings. The Board could suspend his license.

We must not allow this to happen!

For over 40 years Barry has set the standard for passionate,
determined, “no holds barred” advocacy in defense of his clients.
Barry’s formidable skill set, scholarly command of the law,
boundless creativity and singular courtroom presence has earned him
the love and admiration of his clients and colleague.

It has also earned him the hatred of the forces of oppression,
racism, sexism, discrimination and injustice both in and out of
government and the courtroom.

When you challenge the “criminal injustice system”, when you
fight to assure your clients a genuine “jury of their peers” free
from racism, prejudice and pro-law enforcement bias, and aggressively
fight for every defense motion to be granted, you become a target of
the “powers that be” and open yourself up to retaliation.

Throughout his legal career he has refused to surrender his
principles even when faced with dire consequences. Barry has spent two
terms in prison, one for “contempt” for challenging a racist and
pro law enforcement jury selection and the other for refusing to be
bullied into abandoning the principle of “attorney/client
privilege”.

Since the beginning of his practice he has provided staunch legal
defense for the people’s movement living the legacy of his mentor
and dear friend William Kunstler.

His client list has included Boston City Councilor Chuck Turner, the
“Plymouth 25 (National Day of Mourning), Amer Jubran (Palestinian
activist), Marcus Jean (Haitian unionist), and countless movement
protestors victimized by the police.

He was the first lawyer for the militant Boston School Bus Union at
the time of its formation in the 1970’s and provided exemplary legal
solidarity with USW 8751 militants throughout the years including his
current defense of USW 8751 founder and Grievance Chair, Steve
Kirschbaum against anti-union frame up felony charges.

For 40 years Barry has stood with us, it’s time for us to stand
with him!
