ARTLAWYERS

The following is a list of organizations in the U.S. that can provide artists with free referrals to lawyers. The lawyer you get referred to may not be free, but in most cases should at least be willing to work at a significantly reduced rate in order to help you, The Artist.

Negativland can't vouch for any of these groups except California Lawyers for the Arts, who helped us find free representation in our disputes with SST Records, and who helped prepare this list.
