The New York City National Lawyers Guild Mass Defense Committee does its best to cover every event that requests Legal Observers. Please bear in mind as you place your request, however, that Legal Observers are volunteer attorneys, law students and legal workers who may not be available during your proposed time. If possible, we ask that requests be placed as early as possible, although we understand that it is sometimes impossible to plan some events too far ahead.
If you would like to speak to a lawyer regarding obtaining a permit or other demonstration matters, please call the office at 212.679.6018. NO EMAILS PLEASE. The Mass Defense Committee will do its best to give legal information, however, not every request may be able to be filled.
