San Diego, California
Rosner & Mansfield, LLP was selected by the San Diego
County Bar Association as the recipient of its annual award
"For Outstanding Public Service By A Law Firm"
at a ceremony on May 4th.
The firm was recognized for its successful challenge to
the City of Escondido's illegal immigrant rental ban. The
ground-breaking case was one of the first of the so-called
"anti-immigrant municipal legislation" cases to
be adjudicated in the United States.
As the lead counsel of a coalition of civil rights groups,
private attorneys and the American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU). Partner Alan Mansfield of Rosner & Mansfield
first obtained a temporary restraining order shortly after
the Escondido City Council passed the legislation. He followed
that success with an agreement negotiated with Escondido
where the City agreed to be permanently enjoined from ever
visiting the racially divisive issue again. In addition,
the City agreed to a six figure settlement.
Alan Mansfield said "I'm proud to have spearheaded
the defense of civil rights for all, including immigrants,
and was gratified to achieve such a speedy, positive and
just conclusion to legislation that was so racially charged
and divisive. To be recognized by the San Diego County Bar
Association is both gratifying and exciting and I thank
the association for this award."
The firm was also recognized for giving lectures and seminars
to JAG officers at both Camp Pendleton and the Naval Justice
school in San Diego.
Rosner & Mansfield, LLP with offices in San Diego,
is one of the nation's leading consumer protection law firms.
