Employment Discrimination: Procedure, Principles, and Practice (Aspen Casebook) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

This streamlined, straightforward casebook offers a fresh perspective on employment discrimination law, presenting a procedural-based approach (lacking in other texts) with interactive materials. While still providing traditional coverage, Employment Discrimination: Procedure, Principles, and Practice, Second Edition emphasizes the importance of procedural issues in workplace cases. It includes a unique “best practices” chapter, which discusses the most effective ways to address workplace discrimination from both a theoretical and legal perspective. Numerous exercises and problems foster classroom discussion. Practice tips situate students in the role of a practicing lawyer. Modern, cutting-edge cases demonstrate the importance of employment discrimination law. Text boxes within cases, historical notes, and news events effectively help bring the material to life.

• A renewed focus on sexual harassment and a robust discussion of the #metoo movement
• An examination of sexual orientation and a review of the conflicting federal appellate cases on whether it is protected by anti-discrimination laws
