Our litigation efforts have resulted in major victories for the
protection of human rights in US courts. To maximize the impact of
this work, and to expand the availability of these newly-won
remedies, we have made available an online library of legal documents
to be used in reinforcing and use of legal protections in the United
States. The library on this website is available to the public for
this purpose. Please contact us if you have any questions about the
materials in this library or would like assistance. Equally
important, please notify us if you are working on a case or issue
related to these materials, so that we can keep our library updated
and relevant to newly-emerging issues, and so that we can help others
obtain the latest information on litigation efforts on these issues.
