Impact at CLIPI
McFlynn was a CLIPI staff attorney in the late 1970s to early 1980s. At CLIPI, he co-led the Sundance case litigation to decriminalize public inebriation and coordinated the successful fundraising effort to obtain funding for the Weingart Center as an alternative to arresting LADT skid row inebriates. He also co-led the successful Blake case litigation effort to integrate women fully into the LAPD.
McFlynn is also known for his later work in public interest law in Colorado, where he co-founded Public Counsel of the Rockies. His legal career was concluded following disbarment by the Colorado Supreme Court in 2003 due to misconduct involving the improper use of client funds.
