If you would like the ACLU of Idaho to review your case, please fill out and submit one of our online intake forms or call 208 344-9750 and leave your name and mailing address so we can send you the appropriate form. Before submitting an intake form, please review the following guidelines:

 

• The ACLU of Idaho can only review cases in writing.
   
• The ACLU of Idaho does not have staff to answer the phone personally, to see people on a walk-in basis, or to give legal advice over the phone or by email.
   
• The ACLU of Idaho will only consider a case if it involves the government, either through a government representative or through a city, county, or state law.
   
• The ACLU of Idaho will not take on cases that other organizations are better able to handle. Please see our list of resources for people seeking legal assistance for an agency that may be better suited to address your complaint.
   
• The ACLU of Idaho is unable to assist people in emergency situations. If your complaint has any time constraints, please do not wait to hear from us before taking other action.
   
• The ACLU of Idaho has a policy of not interfering with the work of other attorneys. If you already have an attorney, please have your attorney contact us if she or he feels that a constitutional issue is present and would like our assistance.
   
• The ACLU of Idaho can only accept complaints about issues that have occurred in Idaho. If you wish to report something from another state, please see our national directory and contact the ACLU affiliate located in that state.
   
• The ACLU of Idaho will review your complaint and try to respond to you directly. If you do not hear from us it is either because your complaint does not fit within our guidelines or is beyond the scope of our limited resources.
