              <Paragraph>The EEOC enforces its statutory, regulatory, policy, and program responsibilities through its headquarters-based Office of Field Programs, Office of General Counsel, and 53 field offices. The field offices receive charges of discrimination from the public and use a variety of resolution methods, tailored to each charge, from voluntary mediation to full-scale investigation and conciliation. The field staff is responsible for achieving a wide range of objectives that focus on the quality, timeliness, and appropriateness of individual, class, and systemic charges; for securing relief for victims of discrimination in accordance with Commission policies; for counseling individuals about their rights under the laws enforced by the EEOC; and for conducting outreach and technical assistance programs. The Office of General Counsel conducts the Commission's litigation in U.S. District Courts and Courts of Appeal.</Paragraph>
