Rule of Law: Novel Civil Remedies to Combat Hate
Private litigants also have a role to play in the fight against hate. Longstanding civil
legal doctrines, like harassment and infliction of emotional distress, coupled with
statutory theories involving public accommodation, permitting and financial crimes

panel will address these legal theories, as well as whether there are ways that the
legal system itself can reduce the personal human price that litigants must pay to
seek legal redress.

and hate crimes. This panel will describe the distinct and disaggregated legal tools
used in this effort, as well as the civil rights and liberties considerations that these
prosecutions raise.
