Civil Rights Law
As a lawyer, Ackman has won important victories for taxi drivers whose rights have been violated by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC).[3][4] These victories include:
- an order opening the TLC courts to the public[5][6],[7]
- a ruling that TLC courts systemically deprived taxi drivers of their constitutional rights to due process[8]
- a $7 million judgment for victims of the Mayor Giuliani's and the TLC's so-called Operation Refusal policy[9][10][11].
He also continues to challenge the legitimacy of the city's administrative law tribunals. [12]
