Commentary on Schultz, Reconceptualizing Sexual Harassment
Files
Description
Professor Vicki Schultz’s article makes an important contribution to the current discussion and understanding of the law of sexual harassment. Based on her analysis of dozens, if not hundreds, of decisions, Professor Schultz has bound a troubling pattern of judicial failure to recognized meritorious claims of sex-based hostile work environment harassment when the harassing conduct is not sexual in nature. Professor Schultz’s article provides important insights both for courts and, perhaps more importantly, for lawyers who litigate such cases. In these remarks, after summarizing Professor Schultz’s critique of the current state of sexual harassment law, I will suggest some concrete steps that plaintiffs’ lawyers can take in response to the problems that she has identified.
