About This Course

The beginning of the #MeToo movement can ostensibly be traced to when the New York Times published a bombshell expose that revealed decades of abuse and sexual harassment by Harvey Weinstein, a previously untouchable Hollywood mogul. The article, entitled Harvey Weinstein Paid Off Sexual Harassment Accusers for Decades, quotes a partner of the instructors' firm.

Five years later, the #MeToo movement, a name inspired by sexual assault survivor and activist Tarana Burke, who years earlier had coined the phrase “Me Too” to encourage people to speak up about sexual harassment and sexual abuse, is common parlance. Following the Harvey Weinstein exposé, #MeToo was a catalyst for countless individuals to share their own stories of sexual harassment as well as other forms of unlawful discrimination by those in positions of power. These stories covered a shockingly broad spectrum of industries and circumstances.

Since the beginning of #MeToo, we have continued to contend with issues involving discrimination, race, sexual orientation, diversity, gender, gender identity, freedom of religion, and other matters that hold great significance on how we live, learn and work together.

This riveting and timely CLE course will address the legal developments that arose from this intense five-year period, including the many measures that are intended to combat discrimination and prevent the future inequities.
