Civil Rights Attorney

A civil rights attorney is a legal expert who specializes in representing individuals in cases where their civil rights may be challenged or endangered. The United States Constitution guarantees that American citizens all have certain unalienable rights and that all men (and women) are to be treated equally. If an individual believes that he or she is being discriminated against, then he or she can hire a civil rights attorney to argue for their rights in a court of law. Everyone has the right to a fair trial and due process.

Fast Facts

  • Every American has the right to bear arms and is guaranteed freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures, as well as protection from cruel and unusual punishments.
  • A recent issue that civil rights attorneys are battling is enforced patriotism. By law, an individual cannot be forced to participate in a patriotic act, such as singing the national anthem or reciting the pledge of allegiance.
