The purpose of the ACLU – Mitchell Hamline School of Law Student Chapter is to safeguard civil rights and liberties and to promote discussion and awareness regarding civil liberties issues and concerns. This will be accomplished by identifying local civil liberties issues and working to resolve them, helping to advance the ACLU’s state and national work on civil liberties issues, helping to educate the public and Mitchell Hamline students about civil liberties and the ACLU, and encouraging people to join and support the ACLU.
