In this edition, the authors preserve the relative simplicity and compact coverage of an introductory employment discrimination law casebook in a field which continues to grow ever more complex. Keeping the larger questions in view, and the controversial arguments that surround them on all sides, remains a challenge as cases and statutes raise ever more finely tuned issues of doctrine. This edition keeps readers abreast of recent developments, assesses what they hold for the future of employment discrimination law, and introduces the issues in a field of continuing vitality and controversy.
