Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At last a practical and thorough sourcebook for anyone faced with the ordeal of sexual harassment. Until two years ago, we were two ordinary working women with career goals and bright futures...Then suddenly everything changed. We encountered a situation we never thought would happen to us--we became victims of sexual harassment. While sexual harassment is increasingly in the headlines, it remains a confusing, isolating ordeal for the individuals whose lives it affects. In addition to the feelings of powerlessness, anger, and fear it often instills, a woman (or man) who is being sexually harassed is faced with a maze of professional, legal, and personal decisions. This book, written by two women who conducted intensive research in order to find their way through the maze, offers a lifeline of information and a safety net of support. With a balanced point of view and generous checklists, examples, and personal narratives, the book covers: Legal and practical definitions of what sexual harassment is--and not Whether and how to file a formal complaint Whether to hire a lawyer and what to expect from the legal process What retaliation is and how to fight it How to deal with the emotional stress, invasion of privacy, and career changes that often result from being sexually harassed This indispensable book sheds light on a difficult and little-understood problem.

Book excerpt: In the "MeToo" era, editors Roxella T. Cavazos and Sandra R. McCandless have brought together an impressive team of experienced attorneys to provide a much-needed resource for attorneys who litigate cases on behalf of plaintiff/employees and defendant/employers. This important new book provides guidance and best practices for attorneys who litigate claims alleging gender harassment and retaliation claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Harassment claims based on sex, not just sexual conduct or language, continue to increase. At the same time, these cases are becoming more complex and difficult to litigate. With the in-depth contributions of seasoned employment law practitioners from across the country, this important book provides a best practices guide for attorneys who litigate cases on behalf of plaintiff/employees and defendants/employers. It offers a strategic platform that the practitioner can use to assess and handle gender harassment and retaliation cases, supplying guidance for how to perform a thorough analysis of the elements that must be proven and considered throughout the litigation of a claim, including planning and defending depositions. Once a claim has been made, claim must be investigated. The book's subsequent chapters provide guidance for investigating allegations before and after they become internal or administrative claims, as well as how to examine the relevant policies which may become defenses or liabilities to overcome. Among other topics, chapters address: - Workplace harassment and model prevention policies- Investigating, preparing, and responding to the claim- Employment practices liability insurance- Representing and defending the alleged harasser- Arbitration in a harassment case- Discovering juror attitudes in sexual harassment cases- Evidentiary issues- DamagesTo assist the practitioner in litigating these cases, these topics are covered with separate chapters that address these topics from the perspective of the plaintiff and the defense: - Multi-plaintiff litigation and class actions- Discovery and deposing the alleged harasser and the witnesses for the other party- Motions for, and defending against, summary judgement- Voir dire and opening statement by the opposing party- Cross-examination- Closing argument and jury instructions

Book excerpt: Back Off is filled with real-life success stories from women who have stopped harassers cold: -- Sharon, who succeeded in stopping a whole crew of habitual harassers in a city park... -- Stephanie, a ten-year-old who confronted and escaped a child molester... -- Catharine and Molly, who stood up to their landlord and stopped him from harassing the tenants... and dozens more. From an eight-year-old who successfully challenged two young harassers on the playground to an organized group of fifty women who confronted a dockworker in response to an attempted rape on the job, here's what they did, how they did it -- and how you can do it, too. Back Off is the first book to focus on the direct-action tactics that work and the first to deal with harassment everywhere it takes place, in both blue-collar and white-collar jobs, at school, on the street, on the bus or subway, in the park, even in church. Back Off examines the dynamics of sex and power in sexual harassment, the motives behind harassers' actions, and why traditional responses such as appeasement or aggression don't work, and describes the successful resistance strategies that you really can use -- including nonviolent personal confrontation techniques, group confrontations, administrative remedies, and formal lawsuits.
