Abstract
To comply with civil rights laws, institutions look to the text of those laws, legally binding regulations, court decisions, and often to agency guidance documents. Questions have arisen in recent years about the legal significance of guidance documents — is the failure to follow guidance documents a violation of law? To help answer that question, the Department of Justice published on Oct. 7 a new regulation that severely restricts DOJ attorneys from relying on guidance documents in enforcement actions.
