Question Description
1. Do a quick online search for recent litigation (within the last 5 years) against an organization/employer under the Equal Pay Act of 1963. Feel free to use secondary sources such as a story from the media. Give the name of the case, short description of the facts and the result.
2. Do a quick online search for recent litigation (within the last 5 years) against an organization/employer for religious discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1963/1964. Feel free to use secondary sources such as a story from the media. Give the name of the case, short description of the facts and the result.
3. Finally, is there a biblical principle implicated in the area?
This exercise is not meant to make research attorneys out of everyone, but to show how this area of law is impacting organizations everyday.
It’s NOT required, but if you want to use a tool lawyers use to research legal questions, spend some time on our library’s excellent website and search using LexisNexis. You can find it in the database list on the web site. Finally, for fun (it’s completely optional), I’ve attached a brief overview on how to do research using LexisNexis: CommonLegalAssignments_2013.pdf
