From the Paper:

"John, a private sector employee, wants to file a discrimination complaint against his employer. There are certain steps which John should take to file this action. Furthermore, the legal process which the complaint must travel through before an outcome is reached is often complex. Throughout this paper, I will explain the filing of an employment discrimination complaint as well as the civil litigation process from the state to the US Supreme Court level. Numerous employment discrimination complaints are filed each year. In a 1995 article put out by the United States General Accounting Office it states that "in fiscal year 1994, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) received over 90,000 discrimination complaints from employees, almost twice the number filed in 1981 and 10 times the number in 1966" (United States, 1995)."
