The Birmingham Times A New York-based law firm will donate a total of $6 million to the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) in Montgomery and other civil rights groups from attorneys’ fees received from Jefferson County. Jefferson County awarded the fees to New York’s Cravath, Swaine, Moore LLP this year at the conclusion of a case involving African American and female plaintiffs in an employment discrimination litigation brought by the NAACP that dates back to 1974. At the request of the national Lawyers’ Committee, Cravath took on the representation of the plaintiffs in 1983. “As we reflect on the culmination of four decades of effort to make real the promise of civil rights reforms in Jefferson County, Alabama, we feel privileged to carry forward that commitment by supporting the work of each of these remarkable organizations,” said Faiza J. Saeed, Cravath’s Presiding Partner.
