PsycLAW: Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins (256 words) |
 | Facts: Hopkins sued Price Waterhouse in federal district court alleging sex discrimination in violation of Title VII after she was refused partnership in the firm. |
| The court required Price Waterhouse to show by clear and convincing evidence that the denial of partnership would have occurred absent the discrimination she had demonstrated. |
| On appeal to the DC Circuit, Price Waterhouse challenged the trial court's burden shifting requirement and the application of the clear and convincing standard, claiming that Hopkins should have been required to show that impermissible discrimination was the predominant motivating factor in the adverse partnership decision. |
