What kinds of cases does the ACLUF-IA take?
Because we have a focused legal program, we stick to our core mission of defending constitutional rights and liberties. We seldom take cases that involve a large number of unrelated factual disputes. Most cases that we take involve the government in some way–private disputes seldom involve questions of basic constitutional rights. If your complaint is only against a private party, such as your employer, you may not have a civil liberties claim and should immediately seek alternative sources of assistance. Moreover, many claims are time limited. If you do not seek the advice of a lawyer promptly you could forfeit your right to sue.
