This is an excellent textbook for business students, law students, public administration students, executives, managers, and supervisors. It teaches them not only employment discrimination law but also how to develop in themselves a nondiscriminatory managerial mind—a mind that makes employment decisions based on economics, not on race, color, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, or other discriminatory factor. Occasionally it is appropriate to take one or more of these factors into consideration. The book discusses when it is, and is not, appropriate. The book offers innovative, practical, fun-to-read tips and mental exercises. The author, David A. Robinson, is a lawyer with 39 years of experience handling employment discrimination cases. He taught business ethics and human resource management at the University of New Haven from 2005 to 2014. He taught legal ethics from 1979 to 1982 and business law from 2001 to 2005 at Western New England University. He earned his J.D. in 1977 from Washington University in St. Louis. The best way to prevent discrimination lawsuits is to prevent discrimination in the first place. This book teaches how. Any new (2017) book on employment discrimination law would, the author believes, be remiss if it did not mention the changing political landscape. On January 20, 2017, the presidency switched from Democrat (Obama) to Republican (Trump). How might this affect employment discrimination law? How might it affect LGBT employees? The author discusses these topics, as evenhandedly as possible. He makes no predictions but tells employers and students what to watch for. He encourages them not to simply watch, but also to participate.
