Legal Observers monitor, record, and report unlawful or improper behavior. They attend demonstrations to ensure people can express their political views as fully as possible without unconstitutional disruption or interference by the police and with the fewest possible consequences from the criminal justice system.
The presence of legal observers may serve as a deterrent to unconstitutional behavior by law enforcement during a demonstration.
If you would like to request a legal observer at a future event, please fill out the form linked above. If you are interested in becoming a legal observer, please complete a membership application and email us at centralfl@nlg.org!
