EEOC Asks Boies Schiller to Codify Tracks, Pay“: Anthony Lin for the New York Law Journal via Law.com reports:

Last week, the EEOC determined that the law firm co-founded by prominent litigator David Boies had discriminated against female associates, relegating them to a lower-paid, non-partnership track. In a letter sent to the Armonk, N.Y.-based firm’s outside counsel, Ronald Green of Epstein Becker & Green, and obtained by the New York Law Journal, the EEOC proposed 13 steps it believes Boies Schiller would need to take to remedy the Title VII violation.

You can read the article to find out what the EEOC proposed in the matter. Some of the steps required by the EEOC were for the law firm to delineate the qualifications necessary for hire onto the partnership track, the performance requirements to be met for promotion onto the partnership track after hire, and the pay structure for the two different tracks.
