Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits gender discrimination in the workplace. Because attorney fees are awarded to successful plaintiffs, there is much litigation in this field.
'''Title VII''' of the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]] prohibits race, color, religion, sex, and national origin discrimination in the workplace. It also prohibits discrimination against those who bring Title VII complaints.
In order to make a ''prima facie'' case for discrimination under Title VII, an individual must show:
# That the complainant belonged to a protected class (age, sex, etc.);
# That the complainant was doing satisfactory work at the time of the alleged discrimination;
# That the complainant was subject to adverse employment action;
# That the complainant was treated more harshly than others not in a protected class;
Because attorney fees are awarded to successful plaintiffs, there is much litigation in this field.
