For plaintiff and defense counsel, Civil Rights in the Workplace provides complete analysis of punitive damages, compensatory damages, jury trials, and changes in providing disparate treatment and disparate impact cases. It shows you how the 1991 Act has changed the way lawyers and their clients approach employment discrimination under Title VII, the Age Discrimination and Employment Act, the Reconstruction Era Civil Rights Act, and the ADA. You get the full text -- with insightful analysis -- of the controversial Supreme Court rulings that led to the creation of the 1991 Act.

Civil Rights in the Workplace provides coverage of legislative and other developments and new case law, including:

  • Analysis of a Supreme Court case allowing retaliation claims under ADEA for federal-sector employees
  • Discussion of a Supreme Court case on retaliation under Section 1981 for aiding another employee
  • Analysis of a Supreme Court case on burdens of proof in an ADEA "reasonable factors other than age" defense
  • An overview of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, which overturned major Supreme Court cases on statutory disability
  • New case law on exhaustion of EEOC procedures, including obligation of EEOC to conciliate in good faith
  • New case law on standards and evidence to support awards of emotional distress and punitive damages
  • New case law on attorneys' fees
  • New case law on who qualifies as a supervisor in hostile-environment cases
  • New case law on the conduct that triggers FMLA protections
