The U.S. Supreme Court demanded a new edition of Understanding Employment Discrimination Law. Perhaps the Court didn't send a personal note to the authors requesting the fourth edition, but it issued several groundbreaking decisions that fundamentally reshaped employment discrimination law. The Court lowered the threshold of harm needed to trigger employee protection, put new teeth into protecting workplace religious freedom, and clarified long-disputed issues—coming down firmly, and in one case unanimously, against discrimination based on skin color. Congress also inspired an update by creating new accommodation protections for pregnancy, while President Trump forced an update with an Executive Order that eliminated an entire chapter from the prior edition. Change is here, and this new edition helps readers understand how employment discrimination law has advanced.
