In
a radio address during his presidency, Ronald
Reagan described William Bradford Reynolds as, "not only a tireless
fighter against discrimination, [but] a brilliant
and dedicated lawyer. His qualifications and character
are impeccable. Indeed everyone knows Brad Reynolds
is a man of integrity and strong ideals, that
he's firmly committed to the same vision of
a just society that I am."
The Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund is fortunate to have Mr. Reynolds as a
member of its Board of Directors.
Brad Reynolds held several prominent positions during the Reagan Administration
including Counselor to the Attorney General, Assistant Solicitor General, in
which he represented the United States in the U.S. Supreme Court, and Assistant
Attorney General for Civil Rights, where he fought against reverse discrimination,
quotas and similar policies.

While
he was serving in that post, columnist Joseph
Sobran wrote: "A
genuine rule of law is impersonal and impartial.
Rules of conduct - taking turns, refraining from
violence, respecting others' rights
and property - by their nature protect everyone,
strong and weak alike. Without the rule of law
the strong and cunning would prevail. This
is the view of the civilized man, the American
majority, and, as it happens, the view of William
Bradford Reynolds."
A graduate of Yale, attorney Brad Reynolds' experience in the civil rights field
makes him an asset to the Board of Directors of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense
Fund.
Chairman David Martin said that Mr. Reynolds is "the most solid attorney
and logical person I have ever known. His expertise will be particularly helpful
in deciding which cases the LELDF should support." |
