Rodney Logal is a long time political and legal activist. He is undoubtedly NJCDLP's largest benefactor, even providing the organization office space and facilities at Logal Professional and Public Policy Offices. For over 30 years Mr. Logal petitioned and agitated to encourage a true, two party political system in Lake County, Indiana. He was the plaintiff in cutting edge litigation challenging steel manufacturing powerhouses through a shareholder's derivative action. He has taken on powerful interests in the name of justice many times. The experiences left him with an unshakeable conviction that America's legal and judicial system have gone astray. Yet he advocates to help restore true liberty in this country with the spirit in which he defended it during the Vietnam War.
Zena D. Crenshaw, a legal reform activist since 1997, is a founding director and Executive Director of National Judicial Conduct and Disability Law Project, Inc. (NJCDLP). Prior to working full time as a legal reform activist beginning in 1998, Zena engaged in a general, civil law practice which primarily consisted of her prosecuting complex, personal injury claims, and advising small to medium, for profit as well as nonprofit entities. She entered the University of Notre Dame at Notre Dame, Indiana in 1977, distinguished as a National Merit, Notre Dame, and Indiana State Scholar. Zena graduated from the university in 1981 with a dual major in English and Philosophy. She subsequently entered and graduated in 1984 from Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago, Illinois, distinguished as an Earl Warren Scholar. A summer session of her legal education was completed at the Notre Dame Law Centre in London, England.
