The Civil Rights Clinic operates as a public interest law firm, representing individual clients and other public interest organizations, primarily in the areas of discrimination and constitutional rights, workplace fairness, and open government.
Our docket covers a variety of subject matters, including voting rights, employment discrimination, housing discrimination, police brutality, conditions of carceral confinement, and equal protection in education, among others. In recent years, about half of our cases have involved trial-level litigation in federal district courts, and the other half have involved appeals in federal courts of appeals and, on occasion, in the Supreme Court.
