In this edition, the authors preserve the relative simplicity and compact coverage of an introductory employment discrimination law casebook in a field that continues to grow ever more complex. Keeping the larger questions in view, and the controversial arguments that surround them on all sides, remains a challenge as cases and statutes raise ever more finely-tuned issues of doctrine. This edition keeps readers abreast of recent developments, assesses what they hold for the future of employment discrimination law, and introduces the issues in a field of continuing vitality and controversy.
