Information About How the ACLU Accepts Cases

Our office handles civil liberties and civil rights matters arising in the Southern California region - including San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Kern, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange counties. We also monitor conditions in the L.A. County jails (but not state prisons or jails in other counties). For further informaion about the kinds of cases we accept and how to have the ACLU consider your problem, visit our Legal Intake page.

Legal Docket

The Docket Summary is a list of cases that we are currently engaged in as of the publishing date of the docket. In some situations, these are cases in which we have filed a complaint and are awaiting judgment. In other cases, the docket lists cases for which we have received judgment and are now monitoring the implementation of the lawsuit's settlement.

Lawsuits that have been settled are moved to the "closed docket" and are not listed here. If you're looking for information on a case not listed in the current Docket Summary, you can send us a request for further information.
