The Prima Facie Case Of Age Discrimination In Reduction-In-Force Cases, Jessica Lind Dec 1995

The Prima Facie Case Of Age Discrimination In Reduction-In-Force Cases, Jessica Lind

Michigan Law Review

This Note proposes that courts require the plaintiff in a RIF case to show, as part of her prima facie burden, that the employer reassigned at least part of her job responsibilities to a younger individual of equal or lesser qualifications. Part I describes the analytical framework applied to most intentional discrimination cases the McDonnell Douglas framework.

Equality And Freedom Of Speech (Eighteenth Annual Law Review Symposium: Demise Of The First Amendment? Focus On Rico And Hate Crime Litigation), Terrance Sandalow Jan 1995

Equality And Freedom Of Speech (Eighteenth Annual Law Review Symposium: Demise Of The First Amendment? Focus On Rico And Hate Crime Litigation), Terrance Sandalow

Other Publications

Professor White, by contrast, admires it greatly, and in this chapter explains …
