Abstract
Presents selected findings about civil rights cases in U.S. district courts that dealt with employment, housing, welfare, voting, or other civil rights issues between 1990 and 2000. This report does not include prisoner petitions or criminal civil rights cases prosecuted by U.S. attorneys. Information is presented on the number and types of civil rights cases filed, jurisdiction and disposition of civil rights cases, and plaintiff winners and awards.
