Bibliographic Info:
A center for the study of civil-rights law at Hofstra University School of Law is being developed with fundraising spearheaded by New York civil rights law firm Leeds Morelli & Brown (LMB). LMB partner Lenard Leeds, a Hofstra alumni, says, “[W]e want to set up a neighborhood law office, which would offer free legal services for people who have civil-rights cases but really can’t afford to hire lawyers . . . .” Leeds also plans for the civil-rights center to house “some kind of alternative dispute process,” and a curriculum relating to First Amendment protections and discrimination law.
