Jules Lobel, current President of the Center for Constitutional Rights, testifying before Congressional subcommittee about the War Powers Act.

The Center, originally the Law Center for Constitutional Rights, was set up to give legal and financial support to lawyers who

were representingcivil rights movementactivists in Mississippi at the height of the struggle againstracial segregationand

economic injustice. Its founders were Morton Stavis,Arthur Kinoy,Ben Smith[disambiguation needed]andWilliam Kunstler.The Cente

conceived of itself as a "movement support" organizationthat is, an organization that concentrated on working with politica

and social activists to use the courts to promote the activists' work. Cases were chosen not necessarily because they could be

won, but also because they would raise public awareness of an issue, generating media attention, or energizing activists

harassed by local law enforcement in thesouthern US.In this regard, the Center differed from more traditional legal non-profits

such as theACLU,which was more focused on bringing winnable cases in order to extend precedents and develop the law, as

well as pursuingFirst Amendmentissues.

The current organization was formed from the merger of the original Center for Constitutional Rights (formed in 1966 byKunstler, Kinoy, Stavis and Smith) and theEmergency Civil Liberties Committee(ECLC).

During the 1960s and 1970s, the Center brought scores of cases on behalf of civil rights activists, many of which made their way

to theSupreme Court.Despite the Center's ready embrace of litigation strategies promising "success without victory" (as the title

of CCR President Jules Lobel's book put it), many of these lawsuits resulted in victories and set lasting precedents.

The 1980 decision in Filrtiga v. Pea-Irala, using theAlien Tort Claims Act(ATCA) of 1789 (unearthed by CCR attorney and

current Vice-PresidentPeter Weiss), opened U.S. courts for victims of human rights crimes to bring suit against perpetrators

from anywhere. From the early 1980s through9/11,the Center was known for bringing such claims for violations ofinternationa

lawin United States courts.

Since 9/11, CCR has been known for bringing a variety of cases challenging the Bush administration's extraordinary rendition

detention and interrogation practices in the so-called "Global War on Terror". According to CCR's website, primary issues fo

advocacy and public education include: illegal detentions,[3]particularly with regards to the Guantanamo Bay detainment camp

surveillance and attacks on dissent,[4]which fights the U.S. government's involvement in unlawful surveillance, monitoring and

intimidation of activists such asthe Black Panthers; criminal justice and mass incarceration,[5]including jail expansions and

Al Odah v. United States, 127 S. Ct. 3067 (2007):[10]the latest in a series ofhabeas corpuspetitions on behalf of people

imprisoned at the Guantanamo Bay detention center. The case challenges the Military Commissions systems suitability as a

habeas corpus substitute and the legality, in general, of detention at Guantanamo. It was consolidated underBoumediene v

Bush,which was decided by the US Supreme Court in 2008, ruling that the MCA was unconstitutional.

Arar v. Ashcroft, 585 F. 3d 559 (2009):[11]challenges U.S. governmentsextraordinary renditionpolicies and highlights the

experience ofMaher Arar,a Canadian citizen allegedly sent by the United States to be tortured in Syria. He has never been

charged, and has been found by the Canadian government not to be involved with terrorism. He and CCR seek an

acknowledgment of the U.S.'s alleged involvement and an end to the rendition program.

court of Michigan. The amended complaint, filed by the CCR on September 14, 2011, challenged the constitutionality of the

application of the Emergency Manager law.[28]

Civic Association of the Deaf of New York City, Inc. v. Rudolph Giuliani, et al. (1995) When New York City introduced a plan to

remove fire alarm boxes and replace them with payphones, the Civic Association of the Deaf of New York City filed this suit

under the Americans with Disabilities Act to block that action because pay phones are not easily accessible to the deaf or the

hard of hearing. This federal class action lawsuit resulted in a victory for the Plaintiffs. When the New York City Fire Departmen

and the City of New York requested that the court modify or dispose of the injunction in June 2010, the court again ruled in favo

of the Civic Association of the Deaf of New York City on August 15, 2011.[29]

Doe, et al. v. Jindal, et al.(2011) On February 16, 2011 the CCR filed a suit that challenged the need for "Crime Against Nature"

convictions to result in a registration on the state sex offenders list. The defendants in this case were several Louisiana state

officials.[30]On October 31, 2011, the CCR moved for a Summary Judgement.[31]

Amicus Brief in Glik v. Cunniffe, et al.(2011) On January 25, 2011, CCR submitted an amicus brief on behalf of Glik and severa

Copwatch groups. The essential argument is that recording police activities by individuals or organizations within a community is

protected by the First Amendment. In September 2011, the judge ruled in favor of Glik stating that his First Amendment rights

had been violated.[32]

Aref, et al. v. Holder, et al.(2010) This case, filed on March 30, 2010, challenged policies and conditions of experimental prisons

in Indiana and Illinois. Exactly one year later, the court partially dismissed the case, but allowed the CCR to pursue procedural

due process and retaliation claims.[33]

Abramowicz v. Lefkowitz, (1972):[35]Abramowiczchallenged New York state laws that restrictedabortion,and served as a mode

for challenges to similar laws in other states. This case marks the first instance of challenge to abortion statutes being argued by

women plaintiffs in terms of womens right to choice rather than a doctors right to practice.

United States v. Dellinger,(1972):[36]CCR attorneys William Kunstler and Leonard Weinglass defended the Chicago 8, a group

ofsocial movementfigures, after the 1968 Democratic National Convention demonstrations and consequent police repression

The eight defendants,David Dellinger,Rennie Davis,Tom Hayden,Abbie Hoffman,Jerry Rubin,andBobby Seale,were anti

war, civil rights and human rights activists, andStudents for a Democratic SocietyandBlack Panther Partymembers. The eigh

were found not guilty of their conspiracy charges, but five were found guilty of crossing state lines to incite a riot. However, the

Center was able to appeal and then overturn these charges, based on the judge's bias and the refusal to screen jurors for

possible cultural and/or racial bias'.

Monell v. Department of Social Services,357 F.Supp. 1051 (1972):[37]Although this case began as a challenge to New York

Citys forced maternity leave policies, its resolution created a precedent that established local government accountability fo

unconstitutional acts and created the right to obtain damages from municipalities in such cases. Since 1978, this precedent has

been used by lawyers and non-profits as a tool to challengepolice misconduct, civil rights violations, and other loca

unconstitutional acts.

United States v. Banks and Means (Wounded Knee), (1974)[38]

Filrtiga v. Pea-Irala,630 F. 2d 876 (1980):[39]Filrtigaestablished a precedent for the use of theAlien Tort Statuteto allow

foreign victims ofhuman rightsabuses to seek justice in U.S. courts. CCR represented the family of Joelito Filrtiga, the son of a

left-wingParaguayandissident who had been tortured and killed by Paraguayan police. The precedent created by this case has

facilitated subsequent international human rights cases, including Doe v. Karadzic, andDoe v. Unocal,cases which established

that multinational corporations and other non-state actors can be held responsible for their complicity in human rights violations.

Crumsey v. Justice Knights of theKu Klux Klan,(1982):[40]

Paul v. Avril, (1994): In 1991, on behalf of six Haitian political activists including Mayor of Port-au-Prince Evans Paul, and under

theAlien Tort Statute,the Center for Constitutional Rights sued former military dictator Proper Avril for human rights violations

The suit sought compensation for damages that the plaintiffs suffered under Avrils rule. In November 1993, CCR attorneys

moved for a default judgment. In July 1994, in an unprecedented decision in which a Haitian dictator or member of the military

was held accountable for human rights abuses, a federal magistrate awarded a $41 million damage judgment to the victims of

Prosper Avril.[41]

Doe v. Karadzic, (2000): In 1993, the Center for Constitutional Rights and co-counsel filed a lawsuit seeking compensation forvictims and survivors of Serb leader Radovan Kardzics campaign of genocideand torture in Bosnia. Karadzic defaulted in 1997

On September 25, 2000, the jury decided on a verdict of $4.5 billion.[42]

Rasul v. Bush,215 F. Supp. 2d 55 (2004):[43]CCR represented Guantanamo detainees seeking fair trials and an end to their

indefinite imprisonment without charge. The Supreme Court case established precedent for U.S. courts jurisdiction over the

Guantanamo Bay prison camp, affirming detainees right to habeas corpus review. This right was later putatively revoked when

President Bush signed theMilitary Commissions Actinto law. CCR brought many of the same habeas corpus petitioners to the
