Summary

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the most important employment discrimination law in the country. The Act makes it illegal for an employer to “refuse to hire … discharge … or otherwise … discriminate against any individual with respect to [an individual’s] compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.” To prove a Title VII violation, a plaintiff proceeds under a disparate treatment or disparate impact theory of liability.
