Abstract
As the number of labor and employment class action cases continues to grow, the use of statistical methods will play a more prominent role during litigation. Even though statistical analysis has gained acceptance among the courts in discrimination or compensation equity litigation, persuading non-statisticians about causation poses many challenges.
As legal interpretation of statistical evidence evolves, both plaintiffs and defendants need to be prepared to convincingly communicate that evidence to the court. It is important for legal practitioners to understand the nuances and challenges in proving causation in complex employment litigation and to clearly explain the generally accepted science. Therefore, attorneys and their clients should be aware of current and emerging trends in statistical methods to help them navigate their way in an ever-evolving legal landscape.
In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide an in-depth discussion of statistical methods for proving causation in labor and employment class action cases. Speakers will also offer practical tips and best practices aimed at maximize opportunities while ensuring compliance with the law
