Division on Civil Rights
The Division on Civil Rights (DCR) is a part of the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General / Department of Law and Public Safety and is the agency responsible for investigating discrimination complaints and eradicating illegal discrimination in New Jersey. DCR is comprised of investigators, attorneys, and professional support staff. We serve as a fair and impartial forum for addressing claims that the Law Against Discrimination (LAD) or the Family Leave Act has been violated. Our main focus is to investigate claims of discrimination in employment, housing, and places of public accommodation (e.g., schools, stores, parks). We participate in free seminars and other outreach activities designed to educate the public on anti-discrimination laws. External Event Url
