Abstract

"This Just In" piece on Phil Worden, an attorney based in Northeast Harbor who is compiling a database of civil disobedience cases to help him argue a lighter sentence for one of his clients. Worden hopes the information will help him convince an Augusta judge to sentence his client, HIllary Lister, to community service rather than 48 hours in jail. Lister, president of the group Citizens Against Pollution in Town, chained herself to the gallery of the Maine Legislature during an April 2006 protest against plans to build a construction debris incinerator in Athens. Lister was charged with disorderly conduct and obstructing government administration.
