Understanding common legal terms can help you better navigate your civil rights case. Below are definitions of important concepts frequently encountered in this area of law.

Discrimination involves unjust or prejudicial treatment of individuals based on characteristics such as race, age, gender, disability, or sexual orientation. Laws prohibit discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations.
