This practical resource includes perspectives from the point of
view of both plaintiff and defendant for cases involving questions
of race, gender, disability, and age. In addition, it offers an
overview of the process by which complaints are filed, the statutes
under which they are filed, and the authority represented by
various case law. Employment Discrimination Litigation will
illuminate myriad issues such as Daubert motions, class
certification issues, the setting of cut scores that will withstand
challenge, common statistical analyses of adverse impact, and
merit-based issues. Employment Discrimination Litigation
also
* Presents a temporal description of a typical employment
discrimination case from start to finish
* Outlines the major guidelines that are often invoked in
employment litigation–the A.P.A. Standards, Uniform
Guidelines, and SIOP Principles
* Reviews litigation related to the Fair Labor Standards Act
* References written judicial opinions that relate the activities
and devices most often employed by industrial and organizational
psychologists
