Abstract

Rights to recover for discrimination on account of race, sex or national origin form a confused pattern of theories, remedies, statutes of limitations and preclusive rules. These change depending on the nature of the discrimination, the kind of governmental entity and, as we recently learned, the membership of the United States Supreme Court. The government employee needs able and agile counsel to help maneuver toward a meaningful remedy through the many procedural and substantive rules on suing the government as employer.
