Harold I. Cammer (June 18, 1909 – October 21, 1995) was an American lawyer who co-founded the National Lawyers Guild. He was known for his participation in labor law, civil rights, peace and justice issues, and freedom of speech cases; in particular, defending those accused of communist leanings. ==Early life== Cammer was born in June 1909 in the borough of Manhattan in New York City to Harry and Anne (Boriskin) Cammer, poor immigrants from the Russian Empire.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Jewish Currents )〕〔 〕 He attended New York City public schools and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1929 from City College.〔 He attended Harvard Law School on a full scholarship,〔 〕 receiving a Doctor of Law degree (cum laude) in 1932.〔 He married the former Florence Glantz on January 25, 1936; the couple had two children, Robert and Margaret.〔 He began practicing law with the firm of Boudin & Wittenberg from 1932 to 1933, and Zalkin & Cohen from 1933 to 1936.〔〔 In 1936, he joined his long-time friend Lee Pressman in the firm of Liebman, Robbins, Pressman & Leider, and stayed with the firm until 1941.〔 In 1937, Cammer was one of the co-founders of the National Lawyers Guild,〔〔 〕 the nation's first racially integrated bar association and an organization dedicated to achieving economic, racial, and social justice through the legal system.〔 〕 The National Lawyers Guild was branded a communist front by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Department of Justice, and (later) the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).〔〔 〕〔 〕 After his friend, Nathan Witt, resigned from the National Labor Relations Board following accusations in December 1940 that he was a member of the Communist Party (CPUSA), Cammer formed the law firm of Witt & Cammer in 1941.〔〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 Cammer interrupted his legal career to serve in the United States military during World War II.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harold I.
