Employment Discrimination Litigation Summary

Employment Discrimination Litigation: Behavioral, Quantitative, and Legal Perspectives by Frank J. Landy (Breckenridge, Colorado.)

This practical resource includes perspectives from the point of view of both plaintiff and defendant for cases involving questions of race, gender, disability, and age. In addition, it offers an overview of the process by which complaints are filed, the statutes under which they are filed, and the authority represented by various case law.

Employment Discrimination Litigation also

  • Outlines the major guidelines that are often invoked in employment litigation-the A.P.A. Standards, Uniform Guidelines, and SIOP Principles
  • Reviews litigation related to the Fair Labor Standards Act
  • References written judicial opinions that relate the activities and devices most often employed by industrial and organizational psychologists
