Sexual
Harassment in the workplace is continuing to be a hot topic in the
area of employment discrimination. Courts continue to expand the
definition of "harassment" and the number of sexual harassment
claims is expected to rise.
This
on-line course is designed to introduce you to the basic concepts
behind sexual harassment law and how those concepts came about.
Most of the concepts explored in this course transcend all federal
jurisdiction.
This
course explores basic issues that arise under the context of sexual
harassment including:
- How
someone can be harassed;
- Who
can be a harasser;
- The
various standards for employer liability; and
- How
employers can protect themselves from harassment claims.
To
explore these concepts, this course tracks the experiences of two
employees each facing potentially harassing conduct in the workplace.
As the attorney asked to represent these employees quickly understands,
attorneys representing employers and employees must be prepared
to confront the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace intelligently
and directly.
