| GMSR has long represented public entities throughout California. As a result, we are intimately familiar with the issues that these entities regularly confront, including federal civil rights claims under 42 U.S.C. ยง 1983, tort liability and immunity, land use, eminent domain, labor and employment, and education law. Our experience includes three significant victories at the U.S. Supreme Court, numerous appeals, and regular consultations on trial court law-and-motion matters. GMSR partner Tim Coates also co-authored a chapter on federal civil rights liability in the CEB publication California Government Tort Liability Practice (4th ed. 2004). |
