Class recorded October 27, 2023

Many people can’t afford a lawyer to handle their legal issues. This can make it difficult to protect your civil rights, including your right to be free from discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations and education. In this class, learn about your civil rights under state and federal law, how these rights are protected, and resources available to help. Learning important fundamentals about civil rights can make your legal journey easier and more successful.
           
Class covers:

• The right to be free from unlawful discrimination, and other types of civil rights
• The characteristics generally protected by civil rights laws, including race, ethnicity, gender, religious belief, and age
• How to determine which civil rights statute or claim might apply to your situation
• How and where to make a civil rights complaint, and types of civil rights lawsuits
• Resources for further information and where to seek help
