Sessions

With each ruling, the Supreme Court of the United States is permanently shaping federal employment law principles. Recent and looming Supreme Court rulings—on issues ranging from accommodating applicants’/employees’ religious beliefs to the Pregnancy Discrimination Act to same-sex marriage—may bring significant changes to the workplace. This session will examine these and other key employment law decisions from the last few terms—with more than just a summary of the holding. The facts of each case, the court’s rationale, the long-term implications and, most important, how the decision will impact the employer community will be thoroughly analyzed in an interesting and entertaining fashion. Pending cases for the upcoming term will also be covered. This session will:

• Provide you with a thorough understanding of the most important labor and employment-related decisions from the highest court in the land—and what to do to protect your organization from legal liability.
• Analyze how the different justices tend to “line up” on key business issues—and what that tells us about the future.
• Assist you with the practical applications you need to implement in your workplace policies and procedures.
