Abstract

The Civil Rights Act of 1991 provides for a number of significant changes affecting individuals who allege unlawful discrimination in employment. This article describes the changes, and outlines what these new provisions mean to employers in terms of increased litigation and employment challenges. Employers will need to review personnel policies and practices to reduce the risk of litigation from the greatly-strengthened antidiscrimination laws.
