- Christic_Institute abstract "The Christic Institute was a public interest law firm founded in 1980 by Daniel Sheehan, his wife, Sara Nelson and their partner, William J. Davis, a Jesuit priest, after the successful conclusion of their work on the Silkwood case. Based on the ecumenical teachings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and on the lessons they learned from their experience in the Silkwood fight, the Christic Institute combined investigation, litigation, education and organizing into a unique model for social reform in the United States. Christic represented victims of the nuclear disaster at Three Mile Island; they prosecuted KKK members for killing civil rights demonstrators in the Greensboro Massacre, and they defended Catholic workers providing sanctuary to Salvadoran refugees (American Sanctuary Movement). Its headquarters were based in Washington, D.C. with offices in several other major United States cities. The Institute received funding from a nation-wide network of grass-roots donors, as well as organizations like the New World Foundation.Most famously, the Christic Institute uncovered the Iran Contra Affair, and led the lawsuit at the heart of the scandal.Today, the Christic Institute has been succeeded by the Romero Institute, and remains under the same leadership, with Daniel Sheehan as Chief Counsel and Sara Nelson as Executive Director. The Institute's current focus is the Lakota People's Law Project, which seeks to end the epidemic of child seizures of Native American Lakota children in South Dakota. The Lakota People's Law Project also works to stop the state practice of placing the vast majority of these Lakota children in non-Native families, in an apparent violation of the federal Indian Child Welfare Act.".
