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.
We are protecting your right to know about dangerous products that could injure or kill a loved one. We have unsealed evidence of dangers to public health and safety and helped injury victims oppose over-broad protective orders. When a jury found Cooper Tire at fault for a car crash caused by defects in its tires, Cooper tried to have portions of the trial transcript sealed, which would have allowed them to publicly claim that their tires were safe. We successfully argued that the transcript should remain public. We believe the public has a right to know about threats to their safety, and corporations should not be permitted to hide their unsafe track records in sealed court record
