Writing in The George Washington Law Review, Professor Suja Thomas contrasts the ways in which employment cases are adjudicated in United Kingdom and the United States. Though the United States modeled its system on that of the United Kingdom, “the U.K. has more heavily circumscribed the right to a jury trial in both criminal and civil cases,” she writes. One main difference, Thomas concludes, is that the U.S. is more prone to dismissal of employment discrimination cases, whereas U.K. is wary of such outcomes.
