UC's Sperino serves on Federal Judicial Center faculty
Each year, the Federal Judicial Center (FJC) provides training for new federal judges. The FJC is a research and educational agency of the judicial branch of the United States. Last month Sandra Sperino, Judge Joseph P. Kinneary Professor of Law at the University of Cincinnati College of Law, served as a faculty member for the FJC’s Phase II Judicial Orientation Seminar, a program for newly appointed district court judges.
At the orientation program, Sperino taught a class on tricky issues in federal discrimination cases. Her class focused on causation, harassment, intracircuit splits and the discrimination frameworks.
“Over the past 20 years, the field of employment discrimination has become more difficult as the Supreme Court has created multiple frameworks for thinking about discrimination law and as numerous circuit splits have developed,” said Sperino. “It was truly an honor to get to speak with new federal judges about some of the complex doctrinal issues that arise in discrimination litigation.”
