    Our February presentation, our annual Legal Update, will be a summary of new developments in employment law that arose during 2014.  In particular, we will look at recent decisions regarding discrimination (e.g., race, gender, age, disability, and other statutorily protected categories,) harassment (both quid pro quo and hostile work environment,) whistleblower claims, and arbitration of employment disputes.  We will emphasize New Jersey state law, and focus on developments that are most likely to affect the function of the general HR practitioner.  Beyond discussing court decisions, we may also highlight certain legislative enactments of the past year that are likely to affect employment law in New Jersey going forward.

    Our speaker:
