Foley & Lardner LLP Partner Jack Lord is quoted in the Law360 article, “What To Expect As Justices Mull Religious Burden Test,” discussing Groff v. DeJoy, a U.S. Supreme Court case that may have implications for a historical precedent that gives employers wide berth to deny religious accommodations.
Lord noted that the high court has struck down multiple long-standing precedents from the 1970s in recent years, and Groff’s case may continue that trend.
“The smart money is that the justices in the majority are going to change the law,” Lord said, noting that several justices are on record as saying Hardison, a 1977 decision that set the precedent in question, should fall.
