Civil Rights (including prisoners) - Overview

Jones Day has undertaken a variety of important civil rights cases, addressing such issues as state prisoners' constitutional challenges to parole proceedings, prisoner rights to access medical, dental, eye and psychiatric care, and the Prison Litigation Reform Act's exhaustion requirement. Similarly, Jones Day filed an amicus curiae brief in the Supreme Court on behalf of Human Rights First urging the Court to review a lower court decision addressing the rights of U.S. citizens detained as "enemy combatants."
