Women's Rights Employment Blog

Anyone following Mad Men has seen stories of sexual harassment and sex discrimination in the workplace. Of course, those stories took place in the 1960's --what about now? Take a look at the Women's Rights Employment Blog to learn about about sex discrimination in today's workplace. Created by Tuckner, Sipser, Weinstock & Sipser, the blog addresses women's right in the workplace and covers recent sex discrimination cases.

The Glass Hammer is a great blog dedicated to issues relevant to women in the legal and business professions. The articles offer useful advice and insight to women navigating their careers and the blog is updated frequently. Recent articles have discussed the "mommy penalty", handling sexual harassment and the recession. You can also sign up at the Glass Hammer network and join discussions with other professional women.

Justice Matters

The Justice Matters web site from the National Partnership for Women and Families is a good place to go if you are interested in legal issues related to women and families. The site monitors Supreme Court cases on matters such as workplace discrimination, equal pay and health care. I like the "cases to follow" feature for a heads up on upcoming cases on the Supreme Court calendar.

Center for Worklife Law

Family Responsibility Discrimination (also called "caregiver discrimination") is "discrimination against workers who have family caregiving responsibilities" and it can affect both women and men, parents of children and children of the elderly. The Center for Worklife Law at UC Hastings College of the Law is a great resource for learning about this type of discrimination. It offers information about recent cases, model policies, state and local statutes, reports, summaries and much more.
