Dear Mr. Green:
ACLU-TN has received and evaluated your request for assistance. We have determined that we
are unable to help you at this time. We are limited to handling cases which have a statewide
implication, those which affect the rights of a large group of people through reform of law or
government practice, and those that present a significant constitutional issue,
Limited financial resources and limited attorney time prevent us from handling many of the
requests we receive, including those where real injustices appear to have taken place. Our
decision, therefore, is no reflection of the merits of your claim, but an attempt to make a realistic
judgment on how much we can do with our limited resource base.
Please understand that most legal claims have a time limit, Writing to ACLU-TN does not
‘extend any time limits that may affect your specific claim.
‘Thank you for contacting ACLU-TN.
Sincerely,
Intake Representative
