    KNOW YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS


    Understanding your civil rights is the first step in knowing if they have been violated. Sometimes it can be challenging to know when an action against you will be a civil case or a criminal case. If you’ve experienced situations such as workplace harassment, discrimination, excessive force at the hands of police, or inhuman prison conditions, you may have a civil rights case.
