What Is Civil Rights Litigation?
Civil rights encompasses a wide and diverse selection of rights given to every citizen. Instances of discrimination in settings such as education, housing and employment could result in a lawsuit. Examples of the causes of such litigation may include unfair treatment based on age, race, gender, religion or disability.
Civil rights is a complicated area of law, with frequent changes at the state or federal level. Therefore, the civil rights attorneys at Lucé Law, PC ensure they are informed and ready for any challenges our clients may face.
An Overview of the Civil Rights Litigation Process

Here are some examples of discrimination in the field of civil rights litigation.
- Police brutality
- Hate crimes

- No disabled access in public buildings
- Failure to protect inmates
Each of these examples and many other civil rights violations can be nuanced and require detailed research, careful review and a comprehensive understanding of the law. Our attorneys work diligently to build a case that offers the best chance of a successful resolution.

In these situations, our attorneys will analyze your case, draft the necessary legal documents, litigate in court and secure settlements.
