At The Pen & Sword, our programs are designed to empower legal professionals and advocates with the skills, knowledge, and resources they need to fight for justice. Through hands-on training, workshops, and tailored resources, we provide practical tools for effective storytelling, legal writing, trial advocacy, and community defense. While dedicated to serving the needs of noncitizens and other vulnerable populations, our programs focus on both the intellectual and action-oriented aspects of legal advocacy, ensuring that participants are equipped to take on the most pressing legal challenges. Whether you’re an attorney, advocate, or community leader, our programs are here to help you defend rights, challenge injustice, and drive positive legal change and individual professional development.
Until January 2025, the work of The Pen & Sword was undertaken as part of the mission of The Clinic at Sharma-Crawford Attorneys at Law. Rising from its legacy The Pen & Sword aims to continue the work in an even more focused and robust way. Past events now give way to increasingly diverse and essential programs.
