This is true. But the question, as always, is one of emphasis. If lawyers emphasize courts over politics, that aggrandizes a certain idea of "legal" work. The point of emphasizing organizing is to center political power, not to deny the value of every strategy (including legal/court strategies).

Not saying you are doing this! But in my experience lawyers have a hard time decentering their own importance and so we need to be careful in celebrating that importance when we talk to lawyers.

That goes both ways, of course, and because there's no discussion of the role of law in the article I figured I'd mention it myself.

I don't think, for instance, that it's widely known that Ill sanctuary law is the way it is because of anti-deportation activism or that some of the same groups have able to take advantage of the space created by that law to resist the occupation or about that habeas success rate.
