Reviews

"The book is packed with valuable information. Clearly, an enormous amount of effort went into this work. The opening sections on substantive law keenly analyze the various theories of sex harassment — quid pro quo, retaliation, and hostile environment — with detailed descriptions of leading cases counsel should be acquainted with when venturing into this area. ... Leal’s book will prove most useful to lawyers who have recently entered this area of practice. It is pitched at an elementary level but is comprehensive and thorough, moving along in small steps. It would make a useful addition to the library of any attorney just getting started."

Excerpted from TRIAL Magazine, July, 1997.

"Litigating Sexual Harassment & Sex Discrimination Cases combines the scholarship of a treatise with the practical insights one would expect to gain from a CLE program. The book is packed with valuable information for both plaintiff and defendant. ... The book is arranged in James’ popular "task outline" format. ... One of the great strengths of the "task outline" books is that they provide not only the "what," but also the "why," so that the practitioner can counsel the client on the costs and benefits of each step in the legal process. In this tradition, Litigating Sexual Harassment & Sex Discrimination Cases contains an impressive collection of practical tips and insights that will assist you in guiding your client through the oftentimes-bewildering process of litigation."
