Reference no: EM131465754

Based on a case study in The American Journal of Forensic Psychiatry in which it was found that a jury would consider a female defense attorney as bolstering the credibility of a male defendant, John, a defendant in a case involving allegations of sexual harassment and rape, insists that the law firm of Elliott & Ness put a female attorney in charge of his criminal case. The firm has 15 attorneys (4 female and 11 male). On of the male attorneys feels that he is more qualified to handle the case and objects to assigning a female attorney based on the client's request. If the law firm assigns a femal attorney to the case, it is:

a. a violation of Title VII because the law firm has more than twice as many male attorneys as female attorneys.

b. not a violation of Title VII because John can articulate a legitimate nondiscriminatory reason for his preference.

c. not a violation of Title VII because it is a BFOQ based on the Journal case study.

d. a violation of Title VII even though it is based on client preference.
