مطالبة مدنية حقوقية

Arabic to English Law/Patents Law (general) Labor dispute decision brief
I feel like this can't mean "civil rights claim." The context: a brief on a decision in a labor dispute and the court finds that the claim is outside the jurisdiction. Here's the sentence: هي مطالبة تشكل في حقيقتها مطالبة مدنية حقوقية...

TIA!

I wouldn't be so sure. It could conceivably mean "a civil rights claim." The devil will be in the detail: (1) what is the claim all about, to start with, and (2) why does the court find the claim outside its jurisdiction? It is possible that the labor dispute revolves around an issue that has a civil rights flavor. I am not leaning one way or the other, but I am just saying that the civil rights option cannot be dismissed out of hand until the details have been examined.

Civil rights claim

Filing Civil Rights Claims

Civil rights protections have come a long way since the nation's founding more than 200 years ago, when slavery thrived and women and people with disabilities were denied access to the most basic public amenities. But laws only matter when they're enforced; and with respect to civil rights violations, it is up to aggrieved parties to assert their civil rights. This section provides both basic and in-depth information about filing discrimination and other civil rights claims; the importance of filing your claim with the government before initiating a lawsuit; the government's role in enforcing civil rights laws; and related information.
