Cases

Justice, Scales

The ACLU of Idaho's Legal Department files lawsuits in federal and state courts in Idaho. We rely on Idahoans to report civil rights and civil liberties violations when they happen so that the Legal Department can identify major threats to freedom in Idaho and respond with action to vindicate fundamental rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights, the United States Constitution, and Idaho's own laws and Constitution. The legal talent of pro bono cooperating attorneys is crucial to our success in the courts.
