STRIKE FORCE

Just as the Strike Force is available to help individual attorneys when they are facing challenges in their jurisdiction, TCDLA should be ready to assist our affiliate organizations when there are policies in that jurisdiction that are unjust or need to be challenged. TCDLA should be willing to act as the buffer and the big brother for our affiliates in these circumstances.
