Discrimination law is the branch of law that covers discrimination and refers to unfair treatment that is based on a characteristic protected by the federal and state nondiscriminatory laws, such as age, disability, sex, national origin, race, color, or religious beliefs. Unfair treatment that occurs in the workplace, housing, public accommodations, education, voting rights, or criminal process may implicate anti discrimination laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Fair Housing Act, and the Voting Rights Act. To prove discrimination under the discrimination law, you must show actual damages, a discriminatory motive, and a pattern of unfairness against other people who share your protected characteristics.
