Barry Satlow, Bankruptcy Lawyer
I have defended civil rights and civil liberties from Mississippi Freedom Summer 1964, where, as a law student, I was chased around Meridian with Schwerner and Chaney a week before they were murdered; to New York, where I defended draft and military resisters, served as counsel to the conscientious objectors at the Governor’s Island Coast Guard base, succeeded in opening a municipal auditorium to the Indochina Peace Campaign and represented prisoners in the Attica rebellion; to Colorado, where I have defended UFW picket lines, got the City of Durango to repeal ordinances against distributing leaflets at homes and zoning that barred private schools, and persuaded the City of Boulder to allow advocacy tables on the Pearl Street Mall for speech, leafleting and petitioning.

I completed my legal education at Yale Law School in 1967. My early work included teaching political science (a civil liberties law course) at Yale as a teaching assistant; political campaigning (McCarthy national campaign staff and Wayne Morse U.S. Senate campaign staff in Oregon, 1968); reporting for a small weekly and a stint as a “keeper of small animals” in the University of Pennsylvania biology labs.
