July 2016

Client(s) City of Cleveland

Jones Day was engaged to represent the City of Cleveland in preparation for the Republican National Convention held in Cleveland from July 18-21, 2016.

In these efforts, Jones Day helped to provide coordination between public safety, federal law enforcement, transportation, and other city agencies, as well as engaging with civil rights organizations.

The Firm also provided advice and assistance to the City on First Amendment training and obtained the assistance of Case Western Reserve and Cleveland State law schools in producing a series of "Know Your Rights" videos for prospective demonstrators.
