lexisnexis or westlaw should work, but its $$$. the other option to research is your local law school library. The librarians are generally pretty good.\n\nAs far as I can tell there are no california state cases published by that name. (only cases that go to the state supreme court, and some at the intermediate appeals level are published) There may be federal cases, but I didn't want to take the time.\n\ngood luck

She can file a charge of employment discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.  Additionally, your state government probably has an agency that handles EEO issues - Department of Labor or state EEO office.  She can find attorneys listed in the phone book or through Martindale-Hubble. \n\n"Who Can File a Charge of Discrimination?\n\nAny individual who believes that his or her employment rights have been violated may file a charge of discrimination with EEOC. \n\nIn addition, an individual, organization, or agency may file a charge on behalf of another person in order to protect the aggrieved person's identity. \n\nHow Is a Charge of Discrimination Filed?\n\nA charge may be filed by mail or in person at the nearest EEOC office. \n\nIndividuals who need an accommodation in order to file a charge (e.g., sign language interpreter, print materials in an accessible format) should inform the EEOC field office so appropriate arrangements can be made. \n\nFederal employees or applicants for employment should see Federal Sector Equal Employment Opportunity Complaint Processing. \n\nWhat Information Must Be Provided to File a Charge?\n\nThe complaining party's name, address, and telephone number; \nThe name, address, and telephone number of the respondent employer, employment agency, or union that is alleged to have discriminated, and number of employees (or union members), if known; \n\nA short description of the alleged violation (the event that caused the complaining party to believe that his or her rights were violated); and \n\nThe date(s) of the alleged violation(s). \n\nFederal employees or applicants for employment should see Federal Sector Equal Employment Opportunity Complaint Processing. \n\nWhat Are the Time Limits for Filing a Charge of Discrimination?\nAll laws enforced by EEOC, except the Equal Pay Act, require filing a charge with EEOC before a private lawsuit may be filed in court. There are strict time limits within which charges must be filed:\n\nA charge must be filed with EEOC within 180 days from the date of the alleged violation, in order to protect the charging party's rights. \n\nThis 180-day filing deadline is extended to 300 days if the charge also is covered by a state or local anti-discrimination law. For ADEA charges, only state laws extend the filing limit to 300 days. \nThese time limits do not apply to claims under the Equal Pay Act, because under that Act persons do not have to first file a charge with EEOC in order to have the right to go to court. However, since many EPA claims also raise Title VII sex discrimination issues, it may be advisable to file charges under both laws within the time limits indicated. \n\nTo protect legal rights, it is always best to contact EEOC promptly when discrimination is suspected. \n\nFederal employees or applicants for employment should see Federal Sector Equal Employment Opportunity Complaint Processing. \n\nWhat Agency Handles a Charge that is also Covered by State or Local Law?\n\nMany states and localities have anti-discrimination laws and agencies responsible for enforcing those laws. EEOC refers to these agencies as "Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs)." Through the use of "work sharing agreements," EEOC and the FEPAs avoid duplication of effort while at the same time ensuring that a charging party's rights are protected under both federal and state law.\n\nIf a charge is filed with a FEPA and is also covered by federal law, the FEPA "dual files" the charge with EEOC to protect federal rights. The charge usually will be retained by the FEPA for handling. \n\nIf a charge is filed with EEOC and also is covered by state or local law, EEOC "dual files" the charge with the state or local FEPA, but ordinarily retains the charge for handling. \n\nHow Is a Charge Filed for Discrimination Outside the United States?\n\nU.S.-based companies that employ U.S. citizens outside the United S

You really don't know what you are talking about. \n\nI suggest you take the time to 1) learn the English language (something you obviously have very little knowledge of) and then 2) study the law (which you know even less about).\n\nThe law does require that a complaint be filed with the EEOC before proceeding to court. If the EEOC cannot resolves the matter than the complainant is given a "right to sue" letter and may proceed to the courts.\n\nThe law provides that the lawyer for a plaintiff who prevails under the civil rights act may submit a post trial motion for fees to be paid by the defendant employer. As a result, anyone with a reasonable case will have no trouble finding a lawyer who is willing to take his case.\n\nThe key phrase however is "reasonable case." Just because someone thinks he has a case doesn't mean he actually has one. My firm, of which I was senior partner before retiring, handled many employment discrimination cases. \n\nHowever,  more often than not, people who complained of being discriminated against were not. For example, I can't imagine hiring someone with as miserable a command of either the English language or logic as you display for any job other than toilet attendant or ditch digger. Refusing to hire you for any job requiring even a modicum of intellectual ability would not be "discrimination" but a rational and non-discriminatory  act.

Give evidences to show the injustices caused. Such as the effects of the Jim Crow laws, segregation, interracial relations, and unfair legal judgements.

The best place to start is at the courthouse where the lawsuits are filed.  They usually have instructions there or someone who can assist you.\n\nThe next place is the nearest legal library.  Do you have a law school near you?  If not, there will be one at one or more of the nearby courthouses.  Go to the librarian there, tell him/her your problem, and see where they direct you.  Usually they're very friendly and helpful, especially if they're not busy when you ask them.\n\nGood luck!

This is probably the shortest one I have ever seen (and this was a very large employer):\nPERSONNEL POLICIES FOR STAFF MEMBER EMPLOYMENT\n14. Affirmative Action\nA. GENERAL\nConsistent with its status as a Federal contractor, the [company] undertakes affirmative action for minorities and women, for persons with disabilities, and for covered veterans.1\n\nApplicability: All Employees\n\n1 Covered veterans are special disabled veterans, recently separated veterans, Vietnam era veterans, or any other veterans who served on active duty during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized.\n\nHere are some other policies and plans:\nhttp://www.bussvc.wisc.edu/purch/VendorInfo/AffAction/SamplePolicyStatement.doc\nhttp://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance/ofccp/pdf/sampleaap.pdf

Try finding the books: "Fear of A Black Man" By Charles Barkley, "The Agony of Education: Black Students at White Colleges and Universities" By Joe R. Fegan Hernan Vera, and Nikitah Imani, anything by John T. Gato, "Why are all the Black Kids Sitting Together in The Cafeteria" By Beverly Tatum, and if you are a college student, make use of your libraries online journals, type in just like this: "Racial Discrimination + Minorities AND Hihger education" Then see what you pull back. I have a list of journal articles that are great, but these books should point you in the right direction. Good luck!
