SCOTUScast 5-5-08 featuring Alan Smith

On April 23, 2008, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Meacham v. Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory. The Supreme Court was asked to consider whether, under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the employer or the employee bears the burden of persuasion as to whether an adverse employment decision challenged as age discrimination was based upon a “reasonable factor other than age.” Attorney Alan Smith of Greehan, Taves, Pandak & Stoner discusses the case.
