New Jersey Civil Rights Lawyers
The civil rights lawyers at Barron & Posternock are leaders in this complex and evolving practice area.

Tom Barron has been prosecuting and defending civil rights actions filed under Section 1983 for more than 25 years.

Their experience in public sector employment law aids them in Section 1983 claims brought by government employees for First Amendment and procedural due process violations. They also bring their experience as municipal lawyers to play in handling substantive due process and equal protection claims brought against local and state government.
New Jersey Law Against Discrimination
The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination and the newly enacted New Jersey Civil Rights Act have created new opportunities for civil rights claims against local and state government and private sector employers. The appellate courts are constantly expanding the reach of the Law Against Discrimination from an employment discrimination statute to a broad based statute that views police departments and other government functions as “public accommodations”. Additionally, the new Civil Rights Act will foster new litigation exploring the reach and scope of rights provided by the New Jersey Constitution of 1947. Our lawyers are uniquely situated to represent clients in this cutting edge of law.
