The faculty will take participants through the various stages of handling a sexual harassment case - from the allegation to the all-important investigation stage and to trial. Participants will explore how evidence in email messages, text messages, social networking sites and other electronic communications are playing a key role in sexual harassment litigation. The faculty will provide helpful e-discovery tips and explore the nuances of the Faragher/Ellerth defense.
