Employment Law Chronicle for Virginia & the District of Columbia

Employment discrimination based on age popped up on my radar screen because of a media inquiry I received yesterday resulting from my blog post on the Supreme Court's recent decision in Gross v. FBL, and a Legal Times report this morning about an age discrimination case filed in the District of Columbia against a well-known law firm.

While the best defense against employment discrimination cases is to ensure that employment-related decisions are based on business reasons free of discriminatory bias, I thought it would be useful to refer readers to a previous post about layoffs, reductions and employee terminations.
