Fair Elections Legal Network

Washington, DC

Bernard Schwartz supports the Fair Elections Legal Network, a national, nonpartisan network of experienced election lawyers who are involved in removing impediments to increased voter participation. Its core mission is to help bring about increased voter participation by traditionally under-represented constituencies. 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.
