    Product Description

    Hear about current philosophies, assessments, and strategies for dealing with a variety of employment law issues. 

    Get up-to-date guidance on employee investigations—sharpen your chops by incorporating best practices and important tips on how to avoid common pitfalls in your advice to clients. 

    And hear the faculty share incisive practical pointers for identifying and proving pretext. At the heart of most employment discrimination cases is whether a plaintiff can prove that the employer’s proffered legitimate business reason for terminating him or subjecting him to another adverse employment action is pretext for discrimination. Pretext is an important concept that comes up in almost every employment discrimination case. It is essential to understand various methods for establishing pretext, recent developments in jurisprudence on this topic, and how much evidence is required to establish pretext. Outcomes depend upon it. 

    Analyze the recent case of Chantal Charles v. City of Boston, et al. in which a Suffolk County jury awarded $10 million dollars in punitive damages in an employment discrimination and retaliation case brought against the City of Boston by a current employee. Hear the experts strategize about how to avoid large punitive damage awards or, in the alternative, how to get and keep them. 

    Explore new theories on and interpretations of hot topics in employment law and discover trends on the horizon. Hear updates on the United States Supreme Court and Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court dockets. Keep abreast of legislative developments and new bills that are pending at the Massachusetts State House that could impact employment laws. 

    Your time is valuable: get the essential updates you need to enhance your practice and hone your skills. Bring your questions to personalize the agenda!
