As with prior editions, this casebook reflects the evolving landscape of employment discrimination law shaped by significant Supreme Court decisions. Recent landmark rulings on affirmative action, abortion, and religious freedom carry substantial implications for this field. The constitutional standards governing affirmative action—though developed in the context of higher education—clearly extend to public-sector employment and bear heavily on the interpretation of statutory prohibitions applicable to private employers. In parallel, broader cultural developments, including the surge of public allegations of sexual misconduct involving high-profile individuals, have spurred legislative reforms that limit the enforceability of arbitration clauses and nondisclosure agreements in such cases.

Amid these shifting dynamics, the authors have remained committed to preserving the clarity, accessibility, and focused scope appropriate for an introductory casebook. Our aim continues to be presenting the law in a way that encourages reflection on fundamental questions of fairness, the legitimate needs of employers to manage the workplace effectively, and the responsibility of courts to craft coherent principles of interpretation and enforcement. This new edition incorporates both major and more nuanced legal developments while keeping sight of the complex, often controversial, issues that define this area of law.
