LAWYERS ONLY: All about BCI COCA-COLA V. EEOC

Description: On April 5, ACS hosted a national press briefing on BCI Coca- Cola Bottling Co. of Los Angeles v. EEOC, a case the Supreme Court will hear on April 18. In this case, the Court will consider the circumstances in which an employer may be held liable under federal anti-discrimination laws when a supervisor, who harbors racial or other discriminatory bias toward a subordinate, influences the decision to fire that employee, though the decision is made by a more senior supervisor who harbors no such bias himself. The civil rights and business communities agree that the outcome of this case will have a significant impact on the workplace but disagree on what standard the Court should adopt. In this video, Helen Norton, Visiting Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Maryland School of Law, gives an overview of the case.

Brandonduboff ::: Favorites I think to prove the causality of the racism to his firing is a good way to approach this problem. Causation is very subjective, and it leaves rooms for open ended trials, which is not very good. However, it leaves the responsibility on the prosecution to prove their case, which is a very good thing. 07-04-06 03:26:59 _____________________________________________________
Brandonduboff ::: Favorites wow, causation is a good way to skoot the blame onto jurors and judges, but it leaves the burden still on the plaintiff. 07-04-06 03:28:02 _____________________________________________________

hkuwn ::: Favorites This was dismissed on April 12, 2007, which was only six days before oral arguments were scheduled. At the request of BCI Coca-Cola, and probably to protect the Coca-Cola brand from becoming a citation in future anti-discrimination litigation. 07-04-15 11:45:29 _____________________________________________________
