Description: As the workplace continues to evolve, so do the legal challenges surrounding employment discrimination. Staying informed about recent legal developments is critical for attorneys advising both employers and employees. Join our distinguished panel for an in-depth and practical overview of employment discrimination law.
This popular class covers foundational principles; recent case law from the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals; and actionable guidance for proving and defending against discrimination claims. Gain a deeper understanding of the elements required under key federal statutes, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. Topics the panel discusses include the following:
- Disparate treatment based on race, gender, national origin, religion, age, disability, and pregnancy
- Retaliation claims
- Harassment and hostile work environment standards
- Reasonable accommodation obligations under the ADAAA
- Equal pay considerations
While this wide-ranging class offers essential insights into discrimination claims, it does not focus on the issue of damages. This class is a must-attend for attorneys who handle employment discrimination matters or who want to stay current on this critical and dynamic area of law.
