NLG Legal Observers attend protests and demonstrations to record the acts of law enforcement, including arrests, use of force, and any other behavior that restricts demonstrators' ability to express their political views. The Legal Observer program is part of a network of NLG attorneys and law students who work to protect constitutional rights and ensure that demonstrators are given due process.
