Civil Rights and Social Justice - This database contains hearings and committee prints, legislative histories on landmark legislation, Congressional Research Service and Government Accountability Office reports, briefs from major Supreme Court cases, and publications from the Commission on Civil Rights which illuminate the struggle for equality in the United States. The database also includes a varied collection of books on related civil rights topics and a list of prominent civil rights organizations.
Open Society Justice Initiative - The Open Society Justice Initiative, part of the Open Society Foundations, was established in 2003 to provide expert legal support for Open Society’s broader mission and values through strategic human rights litigation and other legal work. This database contains reports, handbooks, briefing papers, legal and policy submissions, and fact sheets exploring and advocating on issues of human rights and justice around the world.
For several years the Cheng Library has also offered the fourth database in Hein's "Social Justice Suite," Slavery in America and the World: History, Culture & Law. Students and faculty will find these resources useful for a wide variety of assignments and research projects.
