Why Employment Discrimination Cases Usually Belong In State Court (Article in Advocate Magazine)
In June 2015, Advocate Magazine published an article Christa Riggins co-authored titled, Why Employment Discrimination Cases Usually Belong In State Court: Keeping your Case From Being Removed to Federal Court, And A Look At When You Might Actually Want It There.
The article explores the many reasons plaintiff’s employment lawyers would prefer to have their employment discrimination cases heard in state court, such as greater rights to discovery and better jury pools, and what must be done to prevent a case from being removed. The article also discusses times when the facts of your case may warrant filing in federal court. In those situations, the article recommends employing a cost-benefit analysis and discusses the steps needed to properly file in federal court.
