Important facts to capture

Identifies the Amount and Type of Damages to Be Awarded

Assume the role of the judge in the Dress Code Flips Burger Joint case. Analyze the legal issues presented by the parties and state how you would rule on each of the issues presented. Remember that your ruling should be based on your legal analysis and not on your own personal views. Use the IRAC method to apply the law to the facts and reach a legal conclusion based on your analysis.

Your legal analysis should summarize the legal framework that applies to religious discrimination cases under Title VII (see EEOC v. Alamo Rent-A-Car LLC, Tiano v. Dillards Dept. Stores, Inc, and Cloutier v. Costco Wholesale Corp) and then:

• Determine whether Ms. Djarra established a prima facie case of religious discrimination against her by Mr. Johnson.

• Discuss whether Mr. Johnson made a good faith effort to offer reasonable accommodations to Ms. Djarra or whether Mr. Johnson could not reasonably accommodate Ms. Djarra without undue hardship.

• Identify the types of damages available under Title VII and the type and amount of damages to be awarded to Ms. Djarra, if any.
