Attorney Resources
Public Justice’s Students’ Civil Rights Project provides support and resources to attorneys across the country litigating discrimination cases on behalf of students. Below, you will find a list of resources for lawyers.
Public Justice regularly partners with plaintiffs’ attorneys as co-counsel in important cases about discrimination in schools. We join some cases at the district court level, often before filing or when plaintiffs replead complaints after a dismissal. We also regularly join cases to brief and argue appeals on behalf of student-plaintiffs, or to oppose cert petitions filed in the U.S. Supreme Court. If you are interested in collaborating with Public Justice on a case, please contact us here.
