On January 10, 2013, R.

Mr. Oswald’s presentation included: a review of the types of damages available to plaintiffs in employment lawsuits; a discussion of the measurement, calculation, and defenses to back pay as a type of damages; and practice-oriented tips such as how to illustrate damages to a jury and how to use experts to assist in maximizing damages for employment litigants.
