I think CB covered the answer, Karen. There's a national office that does the "business" of the organization, but there's no central coordination of caseloads. People file written complaints to local ACLU chapters, the complaints are sorted to weed out the (majority) that 1. don't have a constitutional issue, or 2. aren't the kind of cases the ACLU handles, like employment discrimination. Then the staff attorney(s) research the issue, and decide whether the case has promise as an issue of law. The staff attorney presents the promising cases to the local chapter's board, who decide whether or not to represent the complainants. Those that are rejected get a letter in the mail. Those that are accepted get represented by the ACLU. Most of the cases, like most legal cases, settle out of court and you never hear of them. Derek
