Litigation Partner Martin Bell was quoted in a Law360 article titled, “4 Highlights From High Court Arguments Over Job Bias Test,” and HR Magazine articles titled, “Supreme Court Analyzes Discrimination Law in Job Transfer Case” and “Job Transfer Case May Implicate IE&D Programs,” which discussed the U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments for the job bias case Muldrow v. City of St. Louis. When discussing the arguments, Martin observed that the justices appeared to be considering a Title VII that would cover a wider range of discrimination and said that broadening Title VII might make way for more of these types of suits, even if damages aren't available. He went on to further note, “One can imagine that a ruling in favor of expanding Title VII here might be a boon for anti-DEI movement-focused organizations that have been motivated solely by steadily compiling favorable legal rulings.”
