Description
Bill Quigley is a social justice lawyer and retired law professor. Born in Chicago in 1949, he came to New Orleans in 1971 to study at a Catholic seminary. His interest in social justice led him to leave the seminary and work as an unlicensed social worker in the St. Thomas housing development. He graduated from Loyola Law School in 1977. His career included working for legal services, serving as an assistant city attorney under Mayor Dutch Morial, and spending 30 years as a law professor at Loyola, where he headed the clinical programs and the Poverty Law Center. He served as general counsel for the ACLU of Louisiana for 15 years and was involved in numerous high-profile cases and community organizing campaigns focused on poverty, housing, voting rights, and racial justice.
