Two commonly confused categories are civil lawyers and civil rights lawyers. While they may sound similar, they operate in distinct legal fields with different goals and client bases. Let’s delve into what sets them apart.

What is a Civil Lawyer?
A civil lawyer is a legal professional who deals primarily with disputes between individuals or organizations that do not involve criminal charges. These lawyers cover a broad spectrum of legal issues, often involving disputes over money or property. Civil lawyers are the professionals you think of when you need to draft or review contracts, settle personal or business disputes, or handle matters related to estates and trusts.

What is a Civil Rights Lawyer?
Civil rights lawyers focus on issues that involve the protection of freedoms and rights granted under the U.S. Constitution or federal laws. These attorneys are dedicated to ensuring that individuals do not face discrimination or unjust treatment based on immutable characteristics or their beliefs. They champion the causes that affect broader societal issues and work to uphold the principles of equity and justice.
