POLICE MISCONDUCT
The Roderick MacArthur Justice Center (the Justice Center) is committed to addressing problems of police misconduct through systemic litigation. The Justice Center fights for the rights of persons in police custody to have access to counsel and to be free of physical and psychological coercion to speak, in derogation of the rights secured by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
