Introduction: Civil Rights In The Workplace Of The 1990s, Sandi R. Murphy

Vanderbilt Law Review

Today, employment discrimination claims are the most commonly litigated civil rights cases. A succession of cases decided by a new conservative majority of Justices during the 1988 Supreme Court Term has altered radically the delicate balance of civil rights in the workplace.
