James Publishing: Age Discrimination Litigation

Age Discrimination Litigation

by L. Steven Platt and Cathy Ventrell-Monsees

Book Description

Age discrimination claims can yield big returns. Settlements and jury awards are much higher than those for race, sex, and disability claims. But the lack of direct evidence can make it difficult to survive summary judgment and win fair compensation.

Thankfully, respected litigators L. Steven Platt and Cathy Ventrell-Monsees know what it takes to win age cases. They have tried over 100 age cases and submitted more than 50 amicus briefs to the U.S. Supreme Court and circuit courts. Within Age Discrimination Litigation, they reveal proven strategies, procedures, law, and forms to help you:

Select winning cases
Manage the charge-filing process
Represent multiple plaintiffs
Beat statutes of limitation
Draft effective motions

Focus your discovery
Resist attempts to limit evidence
Draft jury instructions
Overcome defenses
Protect attorney’s fees

This sophisticated plaintiff's practice guide comes with a companion CD-ROM containing over 100 forms in Word format.

Updated annually. ISBN 1-58012-058-X. Price: $129.00
