MELA is one of the signatories to an amicus brief prepared by the Public Justice Center in the case Ruffin Hotel Corporation of Maryland v. Gasper, pending in the Court of Appeals of Maryland. The brief was filed on July 30, 2009.
The MELA Conference on December 4, 2009, was terrific. Participants
appreciated the range of topics and the substance. Two of our
presenters provided materials to be posted here. Laurie A. McCann's
thorough update on the Age Discrimination in Employment Act was
accompanied by a summary of recent case and other developments. You
can access her update here.
John Singleton's talk on case selection gave excellent practical advice
on the fine art of evaluating the right matters to accept, his outline
is here.
