Lateraling: Biglaw to ACLU or something similar?

Has anyone lateraled from biglaw to the ACLU (or an organization like it)? Or do you know someone who did?

Generally, how was the process? Did you have a connection inside? Did you apply using the sway of biglaw experience alone? I imagine you might have to explain why you suddenly want to do public interest work after working for corporations/banks. If it helps, I'm nearing three years as a litigation associate and have spoken in court twice on pro bono matters. Thanks.
