Unfair treatment is not necessarily unlawful discrimination.
Alaska Civil Rights Lawyers are an attorneys specializing in the field of civil rights and civil rights abuses. If your civil rights have been abused or subverted in any way, we can help.
A Civil Right is an enforceable right or privilege established by state and federal law, which if interfered with by another person gives rise to an action for injury.
Examples of civil rights are: freedoms of speech, press, assembly, the right to vote, freedom from involuntary servitude, and the right to equality in public places.
Discrimination happens when the civil rights of a person are subverted or interfered with because of their membership in a particular group, religion, or class. Statutes have been enacted to prevent discrimination based on an individual's race, sex, religion, age, previous condition of servitude, physical limitation, national origin and in some instances, sexual preference.
The existence of civil rights and liberties are recognized internationally by numerous agreements and declarations. Often, these rights are included in agreements in which nations pledge themselves to the general protection of Human Rights.
Common cases involving Civil Rights and violations thereof, include:

Definition:
Inconsistent application of rules and policies to an individual or one group of people over another. Discrimination may result when rules and policies are applied differently to members of protected classes. Disciplining Hispanic and Afro-American employees for tardiness, while ignoring tardiness among other employees, is an example of disparate treatment.
Complaint
Definition:
A complaint is a claim of illegal discrimination that is handled through an administrative procedure. A complaint may result when an employee believes he or she has been unfairly treated because of race, color, etc.
Equal Employment Opportunity
Definition:
The goal of laws which make some types of discrimination in employment illegal. Equal employment opportunity (EEO) will become a reality when each U.S. citizen has an equal chance to enjoy the benefits of employment. EEO is not a guarantee of employment for anyone. Under EEO law, only job related factors can be used to determine if an individual is qualified for a particular job.
