RPL Partner Contributes to Supreme Court Amicus Brief

On March 1, 2011, the National Women’s Law Center and the American Civil Liberties Union, joined by the Women’s City Club of New York and 31 other organizations, filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court in the case, WAL-MART STORES, INC. v. BETTY DUKES, et al., in support of a class of current and former women employees of Wal-Mart. Known as Dukes, this case is the largest employment discrimination class action brought in the history of the United States and has far-reaching implications for the law in this area. RPL Partner Helen D. (“Heidi”) Reavis prepared the contributions to the amicus brief on behalf of the Women’s City Club.
