How Employment Discrimination Plaintiffs Fare In Federal Court, Kevin Clermont, Stewart Schwab Dec 2014

How Employment Discrimination Plaintiffs Fare In Federal Court, Kevin Clermont, Stewart Schwab

Kevin M. Clermont

This article presents the full range of information that the Administrative Office’s data convey on federal employment discrimination litigation. From that information, the authors tell three stories about (1) bringing these claims, (2) their outcome in the district court, and (3) the effect of appeal. Each of these stories is a sad one for employment discrimination plaintiffs: relatively often, the numerous plaintiffs must pursue their claims all the way through trial, which is usually a jury trial; at both pretrial and trial these plaintiffs lose disproportionately often, in all the various types of employment discrimination cases; and employment discrimination litigants …
