Courts have written volumes of cases involving plaintiffs and defendants in employment cases fighting over whether information sought in discovery is relevant and proportional. Because employment litigation often involves similar records, these decisions provide significant guidance on what types of information are relevant to different claims. Yet the fights continue with both sides issuing burdensome requests and overly broad objections. This session will explore what evidence has been held relevant to the McDonnell Douglas framework courts apply to analyze discrimination and retaliation claims, how to properly ask for the information to avoid objections, and when objections are legitimate.
