Case Summary

The Los Angeles Office of the EEOC filed this action in the District Court for the Central District of California. The Defendant was Luce, Forward, Hamilton, and Scripps, a law firm. The controversy involved the failure of the Defendant to hire the complainant after the complainant refused to sign a mandatory arbitration agreement, which the EEOC alleged was a violation of Title VII, the ADA, the ADEA, and the EPA. The lawsuit was filed in February 2000 and was initially resolved in December 20…

The Los Angeles Office of the EEOC filed this action in the District Court for the Central District of California. The Defendant was Luce, Forward, Hamilton, and Scripps, a law firm. The controversy involved the failure of the Defendant to hire the complainant after the complainant refused to sign a mandatory arbitration agreement, which the EEOC alleged was a violation of Title VII, the ADA, the ADEA, and the EPA. The lawsuit was filed in February 2000 and was initially resolved in December 2000 through summary judgment claims in favor of the defendant on the monetary damage claim, and in the EEOC's favor on the injunctive relief claim. The court held that the defendant would be enjoined from requiring applicants to arbitrate Title VII claims and from enforcing existing agreements to arbitrate those claims. EEOC v. Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps, LLP, 122 F. Supp. 2d 1080 (C.D. Cal. 2000). The defendant appealed this decision, and the Ninth Circuit reversed and remanded. EEOC v. Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps, LLP, 303 F.3d 994 (9th Cir. 2002). An en banc Ninth Circuit rendered the same decision. EEOC v. Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps, LLP, 345 F.3d 742 (9th Cir. 2003). After remand, the EEOC settled their case. The defendant agreed that if it required the signing of a pre-dispute arbitration agreement, it must comply at a minimum with applicable state and federal law. Also, the defendant agreed to give notice to employees of their independent right to file cases in the public interest. The complainant, who had intervened in the case, was not a part of this settlement. His separate claim was later dismissed through the defendant's summary judgment motion.
