A native of Louisville, Kentucky, Schulman joined the ACLU after college, initially doing volunteer work before being asked to join the board. She recalls her duties as being rather mundane, often involving making phone calls for meetings. Schulman also mentions the significant growth of the ACLU over the years, attributing it to good local organization, political climate, and timing. She also discusses a significant case during her tenure, known as the "Shuffling Sam" case, which went to the Supreme Court.
