The 2011 Cumulative Supplement to Age Discrimination in Employment Law provides critical updates on this area of law, including:
- Coverage of the increase in lawsuits filed by workers protected under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) spawned by the recent economic recession, and what attorneys representing individuals and employers need to be aware of as a result of these developments in order to spot issues, advise potential clients, and prepare for ADEA litigation
