Civil Rights & Constitutional Law

One of the more complex areas of the law that we practice is Constitutional and Civil Rights law.

This includes a wide array of civil actions that include:

 

  • 42 U.S.C. § 1983 Cases (protecting the rights of individuals who are threatened by government abuse of power).

  • Title VI of the Civil Rights Act (a federal statute prohibiting discrimination based on race in public schools and universities).

  • Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (a federal statute prohibiting discrimination based on race, religion, sex, gender, ethnicity or national origin in the workplace).

  • Title IX of the Civil Rights Act (a federal statute prohibiting discrimination based on gender in public schools and universities).

  • Fair Housing Act (a federal statute that prohibits the denial of access to housing based on disability, race, religion, sex, gender, ethnicity or national origin).

  • RLUIPA (the “Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act” is a federal statute that protects religious liberty in two ways: a) by limiting the ability of governments to control land use when it imposes a substantial burden on the free exercise of religion; and b) by protecting the free exercise right of institutionalized persons).
