Our civil rights practice involves defending claims which allege
deprivation of an individual's civil rights by a public entity. Such
claims are brought under 42 U.S.C. 1981, 1982, 1983, 1985, and 1986
and may be "stand alone" claims brought by third parties
or may be brought by employees and combined with claims of
employment discrimination. Members of the Government Affairs
