Product Description
Product Description
Learn the ins and outs of discrimination based on age, gender, pregnancy, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, disability, religion, gender identity, genetic information, veteran status, pregnancy, condition related to pregnancy such as lactation/need to express breast milk, and sexual orientation, as well as sexual harassment and same-sex sexual harassment. The panelists explain how to identify and gather circumstantial evidence, devise strategies of proof or defense, and meet or attack the prima facie case for purposes of summary judgment. The speakers also discuss the employer’s burden to articulate a legitimate business reason for their actions and analyze pretext as well as retaliation claims. Hear the speakers cover the fundamentals of each topic and provide tips and best practices.
The topics are presented through the vantage points of both employee-side and management-side counsel. The panelists discuss the areas of employment discrimination where claims are increasing and share practical pointers on how to advance your client’s interests.
