Last month in our ongoing Leaders in Litigation series, we recognized the nation\u2019s top attorneys and law firms in the practice area of copyright litigation<\/a> for all federal U.S. District Courts<\/a>. Now, we are reviewing the top plaintiff attorneys and law firms and the top defense attorneys and law firms in the area of employment discrimination litigation for 2019. For these reports, we have excluded labor and employment cases beyond the scope of employment discrimination litigation, and we have also excluded the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), as our series solely recognizes private law firms and attorneys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
