[##_1L|1087938499.jpg|width="151" height="16" alt=""|_##]
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.
