This program, taught by Rachel Geman, a Partner at Lieff, Cabraser, Heimann & Bernstein, reviews current rulemaking and trends for attorneys litigating employment discrimination class actions. First, the program will address Rule 23 with an eye towards timely and relevant issues for employment law practitioners, such as issue classes under (c)(4), the new rules regarding settlements, and the state of the law of former employee standing to bring (b)(2) claims. Second, the presentation will look at how Wal-Mart Stores, Inc v. Dukes has aged since 2011. Many appellate courts have yet to apply Dukes in cases involving company-wide, common methods of exercising discretion. This part of the presentation will look at recent cases with differing outcomes, and the implications for lawyers who are investigating and litigating these kinds of cases.
