Defendant's Attorney: Jack Babchik and Jordan Marc Sklar

Description: White Plaintiff, New York civil rights lawyers represented the Plaintiff who sued the Defendants on 42:2000e-2e Job Discrimination (Unlawful Employment Practices) legal theories.

"42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(e) is a federal law that prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. This law applies to all employers, including private employers, state and local governments, and labor unions.

To establish a claim for employment discrimination under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(e), an employee must prove the following elements:

They are a member of a protected class (race, color, religion, sex, or national origin).
They were subjected to an adverse employment action (e.g., termination, demotion, suspension, etc.).
The adverse employment action was motivated by their membership in the protected class.

The employee can establish the motive element of their claim through direct evidence, such as a statement by the employer that they were being discriminated against. However, direct evidence is rare. In most cases, the employee will need to rely on circumstantial evidence to prove motive. Circumstantial evidence is evidence that does not directly prove motive but allows a reasonable inference of motive to be drawn.

Some examples of circumstantial evidence that may be used to prove motive include:

The employer made discriminatory statements about the employee or other members of their protected class.
The employee was treated differently than other employees who were not members of their protected class.
The employer's decision to take an adverse employment action against the employee was inconsistent with company policy or past practice.
The employee was qualified for the job but was passed over for a promotion or other opportunity.
The employer's decision to take an adverse employment action against the employee was made shortly after the employee engaged in protected activity, such as complaining about discrimination or participating in an investigation.

If an employee is successful in proving a claim for employment discrimination under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(e), they may be entitled to a number of remedies, including:

Back pay
Front pay
Reinstatement
Injunctive relief
Compensatory damages
Punitive damages

If you believe that you have been discriminated against under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(e), you should contact an attorney to discuss your legal options. An attorney can help you determine whether you have a valid claim and can represent you in court if necessary."
