"The Largest Onslaught of Employment Cases"

"The largest onslaught of employment cases on the docket in years" is how Law.com characterizes the U.S. Supreme Court's grant of certiorari to three retaliation cases. Each case arises under a different civil rights law, with two cases scheduled for argument next week.

ACS will host a briefing on the cases on Tuesday, February 12, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. A panel of experts will discuss the issues presented and significance of each case. The panelists are:

• Eric Dreiband, Partner, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP
• Jocelyn Frye, General Counsel, National Partnership for Women & Families
• Daniel Kohrman, Attorney, AARP Foundation Litigation
• William L. Taylor, Chair, Citizens' Commission on Civil Rights, and Vice Chairman, Leadership Conference on Civil Rights
• Moderator, Michael Gottesman, Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center
