Legal Observer Trainings
The National Lawyers Guild Legal Observer program was established in 1968 in New York City in response to protests at Columbia University and city-wide antiwar and civil rights demonstrations.
Legal Observer trainings are held several times a year in various locations around the country. If you are interested in becoming an NLG Legal Observer, contact the National Office or the NLG South VP (below) to find out about upcoming training sessions, or to schedule one for your chapter or school. At the training, you’ll be guided through the Legal Observer Manual by an experienced Guild member before being given your official green hat.
Please note: reading the manual alone does not constitute an official training.
