People's Law Office (PLO)〔(peopleslawoffice.com )〕 is a law office in Chicago, Illinois, which focuses on representing clients who have been the victims of attacks by governmental officials and agencies. Such clients include political activists who have been targeted because of their opinions or organizing work, people who have been wrongfully arrested and imprisoned or subjected to excessive force, and criminal defendants. == History == PLO began as a law collective in the aftermath of the 1968 Democratic National Convention, when a group of lawyers, attempting to deal with the hundreds of criminal cases of people arrested in the protests, decided they wanted to work in and with the movement for social and political change. The idea was to have an office that would be part of that movement, with a workload determined by political events and involvements, free of the normal constraints of a law firm. PLO’s organization as a non-hierarchical collective has, for the most part, continued to the present, with all attorneys who stay at the office for more than a few years becoming equal partners, having an equal say in decisions about running the office and receiving equal pay, and other attorneys and office staff being consulted about office decisions.〔Jeffrey Haas.
