Generally speaking, civil lawsuits are inherently unpredictable and there’s always a chance of losing a case. But for workers who want to sue their employers for discrimination, the odds are especially challenging. For example, in federal court from 1979 to 2006, plaintiffs in non-employment law cases won 51% of the time. But when the employee was the plaintiff in an employment discrimination lawsuit, they only won 15% of the time. One of the reasons why plaintiffs in labor law cases struggle so much is because of the lack of convincing evidence. Yet on occasion, the employee has a “smoking gun” that can help them win.
Many employment law disputes go before aljs, who have the authority to adjudicate certain matters. Aljs with the u. S. Department of labor handle various employment-related claims. The national labor relations board (nlrb) has aljs who adjudicate labor complaints. Aljs are not part of the federal court system. Article iii of the u. S.

These cases will blow your mind. I’m sure that criminal law attorneys can tell stories with some unbelievable fact patterns. I doubt any other practice area can beat them in that category. It might surprise you, but i think employment lawyers come in a close second. When most people find out i practice labor and employment law, it’s clear they think it’s super boring. They either change the topic quickly to avoid conversational purgatory or their faces get this glazed-over look like they’re sure i’m about to spout off obscure statutes or something equally dull. To avoid that (and to make myself seem cooler than i am), when people ask nowadays what kind of law i practice, i tell them, “uh, the coolest and most fun kind of law there is, employment law.
