For those of us who have the privilege of practicing employment law in the Delaware Valley, one thing holds true: there is no shortage of excellent jurists. The judges hearing our cases always show impeccable patience and skill. Employment law cases are truly unique. The law can be nuanced with burden shifting paradigms, pretext, mixed motive analysis and a myriad of other complexities. And this says nothing of the parties and litigators who never fail to keep the bench on its proverbial toes.
