Civil Rights Litigation Clearinghouse

Laura E. Ray, Educational Programming Librarian, laura.ray@law.csuohio.edu | November 16, 2006 - 15:41

The Washington University School of Law has created a Web-based Civil Rights Litigation Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse provides completed and pending case information and documents organized in several categories including Jail Conditions, Mental Health Institutions, Election and Voting, Child Welfare, Nursing Homes, Policing, Public Housing, and School Desegregation. Types of information include complaints, docket information, pleadings, decrees, orders, as well as reporter citations and links to LexisNexis/Westlaw resources. [One needs a subscription to connect to the LexisNexis/Westlaw resources.] The Clearinghouse was created for "noncommercial research, educational, and policy purposes," and its creators interested in hearing from researchers who find the "site useful for published work, teaching, advocacy, or policy design." One may use Clearinghouse materials for educational purposes, including classroom distribution, but one should notify the Clearinghouse of such use and reference the Clearinghouse as the source of the materials. Clearinghouse core faculty are Margo Schlanger, Professor of Law, and Denise Lieberman, Political Science Lecturer and Adjunct Professor Law. Several other faculty, as well as numerous College of Law and undergraduate students, also contribute to and manage the Clearinghouse.
