The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination protects individuals in a variety of situations, ensuring fair treatment and equal opportunity.

Please join us for the third and final installment of the “Know Your Rights” series from the NJ Division of CIvil Rights where we will be discussing your rights regarding places of public accommodation. Publically accessible places must adhere to certain guidelines and provide reasonable accommodations to those who suffer from a disability, as defined in the NJ Law Against Discrimination.
