When bringing or defending a case, practitioners must ask, 'Is this claim time-barred?' This panel discussion covers statute of limitations issues for employment claims under G.L. c. 151B and federal anti-discrimination laws at the MCAD, EEOC, and in state and federal courts. Speakers share their experiences with complex statute of limitations cases, offering insights and tips on strategies and defenses, including tolling, the continuing violation doctrine, and relation-back pleading.
