Fair Elections Legal Network

Washington, DC

Bernard Schwartz supports the Fair Elections Legal Network, a national, nonpartisan network of experienced private and organizational election lawyers involved in legal efforts to remove impediments to restrictive voter participation laws or efforts to support laws or administrative decisions that grant broader participation in voting. Its activities include:

• Operating an online discussion where participants can address legal, process and litigation issues.
• Serving as a clearinghouse for attorney referrals and contacts.
• Creating and maintaining a database from which members of the Network can access contact information about lawyers, experts, and organizations as well as documents, including briefs and judicial and administrative decisions.
• Convening discussions about legal theories, litigation strategy, and the relative merits of ongoing and cases and/or potential filings.
• Facilitating the exchange of information between lawyers representing different entities who are challenging obstacles to full voter participation.
