Meetings
The board of the chapter meets monthly, except in August, normally on the second Wednesday. Any member of the ACLU is welcome to attend.
Legal Clinic
The chapter operates a Free Legal Clinic monthly, except in August, on the second Thursday of the month, 7-9pm, at the Somerset County Administration Building in Somerville. No prior appointment is necessary to confer privately with a volunteer attorney who can provide basic information on the law and initial direction on a legal problem. The attorney is not a substitute for retained counsel, but can provide referral to a list of approved lawyers or to state or community agencies and resources, where applicable.
The chapter welcomes volunteer attorneys who can serve as infrequently as once or twice a year, and lay persons who can serve as reception volunteers to facilitate the sessions (no experience necessary).
