The legal landscape in the civil rights area is changing all the time. It’s very dynamic. It’s one of the reasons I went into it.

If you look every Supreme Court term there’s a couple important 4th Amendment cases or 1st Amendment cases or §1983 cases, and the same is true in every Federal Circuit Court of Appeals and all the district courts. This is an area of the law that’s vibrant and dynamic. It’s not static, and things are happening in it, and you feel you’re doing something important.

It’s also complicated, so the people that dabble in it that have one case or another usually don’t come back because they do something wrong. They think that the cities are gonna give them money when in fact they’re not gonna give them money. You have to go get it.

So it’s an area that requires a lot of expertise, a lot of expertise, or your lawyer’s unlikely to be successful, and you see people on the internet saying they’re civil rights. What you really ought to ask them is how many cases have you won. What kind of results have you obtained, and do know about the all of the intricacies of federal civil rights law, and the answer for many of them is no, no and no.
