The Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department brings lawsuits in federal courts
across the country to end discriminatory practices and to seek monetary and other relief for
individuals whose rights under the Fair Housing Act have been violated. The Civil Rights
Division initiates lawsuits when it has reason to believe that a person or entity is involved in a
"pattern or practice" of discrimination or when there has been a denial of rights to a group of
persons that raises an issue of general public importance. The Division also participates as
amicus curiae in federal court cases that raise important legal questions involving the application
and/or interpretation of the Act. To alert the Justice Department to matters involving a pattern or
practice of discrimination, matters involving the denial of rights to groups of persons, or lawsuits
raising issues that may be appropriate for amicus participation, contact:
