Employment & Discrimination Law
An ever larger part of civil litigation consists of employment and discrimination disputes. Employees who are terminated, laid off, demoted, or harassed in the workplace need to know their rights, and need to know them as soon as possible. Whether there is an employment agreement or not, employers who terminate valuable employees without good reason can expect to answer for their actions. On the other hand, business owners have the right to terminate employees where there is a legitimate business reason for doing so.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: There is No Excuse for Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
It is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for a company to allow a work environment to exist that is hostile to women. In a landmark decison in 1993, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that civil suits may be brought against employers for allowing hostile environments to exist. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, writing for the Court, made it clear that women may sue their employers in a wide variety of situations where they are unable to do their jobs because of sexual harassment.
