About the Program
The state of Texas is experiencing some Texas-size changes in discrimination and harassment law, including changes to where claims can be filed, who can sue whom, and what standards are used.

Topics will include:

• The Fifth Circuit’s recent Hamilton decision, changing the standard for Title VII discrimination claims in Texas;
• Changes to Chapter 21 of the Texas Labor Code for sexual harassment claims and recent federal law changes;
• New workplace poster requirements for Texas employers; and
• Texas CROWN Act – prohibition on hairstyle discrimination.
