Since its passage in January 2009, the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act ("the Act") has created as many questions as it has answered, including whether it applies to disparate impact cases (that is, cases involving claims that an employment practice or policy that appears neutral on its face actually affects a protected group more harshly than an unprotected group) and whether the courts will extend coverage beyond cases of pay discrimination. The U.S. Supreme Court has decided to hear a case that may give it the opportunity to answer these two questions.
