What Are Civil Rights?

Civil rights encompass the fundamental rights and freedoms that are granted to individuals by the law. These rights are designed to protect individuals from unfair treatment and discrimination based on characteristics such as race, gender, religion, national origin, disability, and more. Civil rights are not only crucial to ensuring equal treatment, but they are also essential for fostering a just and inclusive society.

Civil Rights Litigation: Seeking Justice

Unfortunately, civil rights violations occur far too often, and victims may find themselves facing various forms of discrimination or mistreatment. Civil rights litigation provides an avenue for individuals to seek justice and hold accountable those who have violated their rights. This legal process allows individuals to pursue remedies for the harm they have suffered and aims to ensure that such violations are not repeated.
