A casino owner decides that all employees must dress to meet a “personal best” standard, and for women, that requires full make-up and teased hair. A female worker refuses to comply, loses her job, and sues in federal court for sex discrimination. Would you guess that she won or lost? Professor Richard Thompson Ford, ’88, joins Stanford Law School’s Pam Karlan and Joe Bankman to discuss the outcome and implications of this case (Jespersen v. Harrah Operating Company Inc.) and more, which are considered in his forthcoming book, “Dress Codes: Crimes of Fashion and Laws of Attire.” For full episodes of “Stanford Legal” visit: https://soundcloud.com/user- 458541487/sets/stanford-legal-with-pam-karlan
