The CCC's work involves complicated legal issues. We are very fortunate to have the assistance and guidance of our Lawyers Council, which consists of highly experienced and well-regarded attorneys who offer pro bono advice on a variety of issues. 
 
From the private sector to public service, the Lawyers Council's combined experience encompasses a wide breadth: criminal justice policy, securities litgation, regulatory matters, public corruption, criminal law, fraud, and national and international terrorism cases.
