Case Law Update: U.S. Supreme Court Decision – Federal Anti-Discrimination Protections and Title VII (Webinar)

Co-Sponsored by the New York Bar Association Labor & Employment Law Section EEO Committee and the LGBT Bar Association of New York

On June 15, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark decision in three cases holding that discrimination based upon gender identity and sexual orientation is covered under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The ruling will have a broad impact on fairness issues in the workplace, but is also expected to be interpreted to expand civil rights protections in health care, education and housing. Join us for a CLE program reviewing the recent SCOTUS decision and LGBT workplace fairness questions.
