In honor of the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. we invited on three civil rights lawyers to talk about their latest, pathbreaking, cases and the challenges they face in bringing justice for all.

Each discusses a recently filed case where law enforcement officers are alleged to have gone far beyond the bounds of the Constitution.
