Employment Discrimination/Preface

=Preface=

This is a textbook in the United States (primarily federal) law of employment discrimination. It is designed primarily for undergraduate students who have an interest in the field, not for law school students who would require a more detailed analysis of the statutes and cases involved.

The text assumes a basic familiarity with such legal concepts as common law reasoning, the creation of statutes, the fundamentals of contract and tort, etc.

To maintain consistency, contributors should name each new page "EmplDiscr xxxxx", where "xxxxx" is the name of the new page.
