The class examines statutory remedial schemes for enforcement of constitutional and statutory civil rights. The primary focus is on 42 U.S.C. 1983. In addition, other civil rights statutes, including the 1964 Civil Rights law, the Americans with Disabilities Act and other related statutes are introduced and discussed. Similar state laws are reviewed. The class is intended to foster a basic understanding of how to enforce particular citizen claims for violations of civil rights and how to defend against such claims.
