Benefits

  • Title VII (discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin) mnemonic helps you memorize proper defendant, proper plaintiff, intentional discrimination (disparate treatment) single motive and mixed motive, and affirmative defenses for disparate treatment cases. It also covers unintentional discrimination (disparate impact) and affirmative defenses, sexual harassment, retaliation, and specific issues involving the five protected classifications. It also addresses the very complicated enforcement rules (both deferral State and non- deferral State), an in depth look at remedies, and reconstruction from sections 1981, 1983, and 1985.
  • The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) mnemonic tracks closely with Title VII and helps you memorize proper defendant, proper plaintiff, disparate treatment (single motive), disparate impact, associational discrimination, causation, affirmative defenses, the very complicated enforcement rules, and remedies. 
  • The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) mnemonic tracks closely with Title VII and helps you memorize proper defendant, proper plaintiff, disparate treatment (single motive), disparate impact, voluntary v. involuntary retirement, affirmative defenses, retaliation, the very complicated enforcement rules, and remedies.

How it Works

The Injunctions remedy mnemonic helps you memorize the elements of injunctions including the requirement for an injunction, and both temporary and permanent (final) injunctions. The Equitable remedies mnemonic helps you memorize jurisdiction, conditions, subject matter of equitable relief and special defenses along with enforcement and effect of equitable decrees, and ancillary equitable remedies. It also lists all of the known equity maxims.
