Use this form to request legal observers are your event.

Legal observers support people to 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. Legal Observers® are typically, but not exclusively, law students, legal workers, and lawyers who may or may not be licensed locally. The presence of Legal Observers® may serve as a deterrent to unconstitutional behavior by law enforcement during a demonstration.
