Tracy Billows Discusses 8th Circuit Weighing in on Employer Defense Limits in ADA Suits in The National Law Journal and Bloomberg Law
Tracy Billows was quoted on the Eighth Circuit Appeal’s potential impact in ADA suits in both The National Law Journal and Bloomberg Law. Billows discussed how the US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit will hear a case that could weaken a key defense that employers turn to in disability discrimination lawsuits and make it easier for plaintiffs' claims to proceed.
“It will be interesting to see what the court does because this could be a slippery slope to arguments that disabilities don’t excuse misconduct or violation of company policy.”
