Social Issues & Civil Rights

Addressing social issues and protecting the rights and interests of protected classes.

The City Bar is dedicated to addressing the needs of historically marginalized or disadvantaged people. We work to mobilize the legal profession to promote social justice, human rights, and democratic values and principles. Our committees address a wide range of social and civil rights issues in their policy work – including animal rights, social welfare, consumer protection, gender issues, equality and access to education and the rights of protected classes.
