Major Issues in the Federal Law of Employment Discrimination
This edition of Major Issues in the Federal Law of Employment Discrimination discusses developments in the law through June 2011. These developments, like those recounted in earlier editions, are many and varied. This field of law continues to expand to cover new forms of discrimination and additional employment practices. Both new judicial decisions and new legislation have addressed the issues in this field in increasing detail. It would have been impossible to keep up with all of these developments without the diligent efforts of my research assistants, Nicholas Bluhm, Laura Bowers, Kevin Kelly, and Diane Wielocha. For similar reasons, I am grateful to Foundation Press, which has allowed me to use material from my book Employment Discrimination Law: Visions of Equality in Theory and Doctrine (third edition 2010) in updating this monograph. Several federal judges have read and commented on this and earlier editions of this monograph, most recently Judge Denny Chin of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. I continue to be grateful to them and to the editors at the Federal Judicial Center, who read the entire manuscript and recommended several important changes. Everyone who assisted with this monograph improved it in ways too numerous to mention, but I remain responsible, of course, for any mistakes.
