Morris Seligman Dees Jr. is an American attorney who is known as the co-founder and former chief trial counsel for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), based in Montgomery, Alabama. Dees and his colleagues at the SPLC have been "credited with devising innovative ways to cripple hate groups" such as the Ku Klux Klan, particularly by using "damage litigation". Dees's legal actions against racial nationalist groups have made him a target of many of these organizations. He has received numerous death threats from some of these groups and in 2007, Dees said that more than 30 people had been jailed in connection with plots to either kill him or blow up the center.
American attorney and jurist William Sessions served as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas and as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigationfrom 1987 to 1993.
