Civil Rights Section

The Civil Rights Section membership advocates for individuals whose rights have been infringed upon by government officials, organizations receiving government funding, and private individuals. Our members possess extensive expertise in handling these intricate and ever-changing legal claims at state and federal court levels. We readily share experiences through our listserv and CLEs.
