American Civil Liberties Union

The ACLU performs civil and criminal litigation focusing on the civil rights of claimants across a diverse range of interests and concerns. Students will gain insight into the process or public interest litigation, and will have direct exposure to the processes of fielding complaints, developing cases for trial and in-court litigation. The ACLU's current activities include a substantial appellate litigation initiative, legislative advocacy on behalf of civil liberties, and "know your rights" public education campaigns.
