ACLU of Massachusetts "Wonk" Podcasts
Why even try to deny it? We're wonks—and it's because we care about and want to know what's going on in this country.
If you do, too, download our new "Wonk" podcasts. "Wonk" makes available recordings from ACLU of Massachusetts events, such as speeches and conference workshops, as well as interviews with staff, volunteers, and experts on civil liberties issues.
You can listen to "Wonk" podcasts on computers or any MP3 player, including the iPod.

Prof. Erwin Chemerinsky addresses the Amicus Club
Amicus Club
The Amicus Club of the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts brings together members of the legal community three times per year to discuss the critical constitutional issues of the day and to hear from prominent legal experts on civil liberties and civil rights.
Annual dues for an individual membership equals the cash equivalent of one or more billable hours. Membership in the Amicus Club entitles participants to attend three luncheons per year.
To join the Amicus club, please email Megan Warde or call 617.482.3170 ext 335.
The ACLU Foundation of Massachusetts continues to be very grateful to Bingham McCutchen LLP for their ongoing sponsorship of the Amicus Club.
