Civil Rights

Within our system of juris prudence, one of the broadest practice areas in Civil Rights. Civil Rights focuses on an individual's civil liberties. Civil liberties are personal, natural rights, guaranteed and protected by the Constitution. Examples include freedom of speech, freedom of press, and freedom from discrimination.

Civil Rights is that body of law, which deals with natural liberties, and more particularly, the invasion of those liberties - and the equal rights of others. Constitutionally, they are restraints on government itself.

Following the Civil War, and more recently in 1957 and 1964, federal statutes were enacted intended to implement and give further force to the basic personal rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution. These laws prohibit discrimination based on race, sex, age, or religion.

Most states have also enacted statutes and laws which seek to protect civil liberties and fundamental rights of an individual. State statutes may afford greater protection than those afforded by the United States Constitution.
