The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights maintains 56 advisory committees. Mandated by Congress, the advisory committees are bipartisan and conduct studies of civil rights topics within their geographic jurisdiction. The reports that culminate from their studies are based upon diverse and bipartisan testimony heard through public briefings and result in reports including advice and recommendations to the Commission. The Commission forwards Advisory Committee reports to the local, state, and federal entities that the advisory committee identifies in the report.
