Are You Facing Illegal Discrimination on the Job?
It's nothing new that federal and state courts take employment discrimination and illegal employment practices seriously. In 1945, the New Jersey Legislature enacted the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) as clear public policy against discrimination in the workplace. The statute recognizes that the opportunity to obtain employment and prosper in a respectful workplace is a civil right.
