ACLU Nebraska Legal Program
ACLU Nebraska is one of the smaller ACLU affiliates, but we have gained a reputation
for having a very aggressive legal advocacy program for our size. Our philosophy of legal
advocacy requires that we protect individual civil liberties by providing legal counseling,
representation in court or before administrative law judges, and by filing friend of the
court briefs when civil liberties issues arise in cases where we are not directly involved.
Each year, ACLU Nebraska receives and responds to approximately 600 requests for assistance.
ACLU Nebraska has always provided advice and referral information for those individuals we are
unable to assist directly. We also resolve some complaints through informal intervention. We
are now also able to provide personal legal representation on cases selected for the impact
they are likely to have on the civil liberties of all Nebraskans.
