The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) published the latest edition of its federal sector Digest of Equal Employment Opportunity Law, which is available online at http://www.eeoc.gov/federal/digest/index.cfm . This quarterly publication, prepared by the EEOC's Office of Federal Operations (OFO), features recent Commission decisions and federal court cases of interest. The latest edition also includes a special article on Abuse of Process.
The Spring 2013 edition of the Digest contains a sampling of summaries of noteworthy decisions selected by OFO from among the volume of decisions issued by EEOC each fiscal year, including topics such as:
- Attorney Fees
- Compensatory Damages
- Dismissals
- Finding on the Merits
- Remedies, Sanctions and Settlement Agreements
- Stating a Claim
- Summary Judgment
- Timeliness
While these summaries are not intended to be exhaustive or definitive as to their subject matter, and may not be given the legal weight of case law in citations, they provide practitioners with relevant information.
