The Poker Players Alliance announced today that it would be launching its Litigation Support Network, which will provide legal advice and refer members to attorneys who have expressed interest in helping with poker-related issues, according to a press release on the PPA’s Web site.

The resource will be free to PPA members:

According to the release:

“As both the popularity of poker and the membership of PPA continue to grow, the Litigation Support Network is an opportunity to provide even more value to our members,” said PPA Chairman Former Senator Alfonse D’Amato. “With the myriad local, state and federal laws impacting poker, the Litigation Support Network is an important service that our members can and should use, and I encourage attorneys who want to defend poker players and this great American game of skill to join this effort.”


Whole thing here.

The attorneys being linked to this service are also prepared to litigate that poker is a game of skill, not of chance. The network is being headed by Patrick Fleming, who also heads the PPA’s efforts in New Hampshire.
