Civil Rights
Civil Rights Overview
The legal civil rights practice area focuses on protecting and advocating for individuals’ rights and freedoms as guaranteed by the Constitution and various civil rights laws. This area encompasses a wide range of issues, including discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, or disability; police misconduct; free speech; and voting rights. Attorneys in this field work to hold individuals, organizations, and government entities accountable for violations of civil rights, often representing clients in litigation, administrative proceedings, and negotiations. They aim to promote social justice and equality, providing legal support to those seeking to challenge injustices and secure their rights. This practice area is essential for advancing civil liberties and fostering a more equitable society.
