In late June, Professor Suja Thomas was a featured speaker at the National Employment Lawyers Association conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. The theme of the conference was “Leading with Vision. Rooted in Justice.” and Professor Thomas spoke in one of the final sessions, covering “The Year in Review: Significant Developments in Employment Law.” Along with two other speakers, Thomas reviewed employment cases decided by the U.S. Supreme Court during its 2025–2026 term, as well as significant appellate court, legislative, and state law developments, and the emerging issues reshaping plaintiffs’ employment law practice.
