A free webinar presented by the MWELA Bench Bar Committee; co-sponsored by the Bar Association of the District of Columbia & DC Bar, Labor and Employment Community.

This program will compare federal antidiscrimination employment statutes with the D.C. Human Rights Act, focusing on the broader protections available under District law. The panel will examine how those differences affect protected characteristics, procedural considerations, and litigation strategy in discrimination claims in D.C. Panelists will offer perspectives from the bench and both sides of the employment bar on how D.C. courts approach D.C. Human Rights Act claims, how practitioners should evaluate claims that may fall outside federal law, and what attorneys should keep in mind when litigating discrimination claims in the District.

This event does not offer CLE credit. Registrants will receive Zoom login details on the day before the event.
