If you live in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio or Tennessee, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit is the most authoritative court next to the United States Supreme Court. The Sixth Circuit interprets the federal laws for the District Courts in those states which are bound by its decisions. We take great pride in keeping up with the Sixth Circuit’s decisions in the employment area in general and age discrimination in particular.

We have provided for your educational use summaries of some of the more important Sixth Circuit cases decided between June 30, 1997 and June 30, 2000. This is not an exhaustive compilation. It is not intended as legal advice. Each case is different. Consult an attorney to find out how any case or series of cases may affect your case.
