Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Maryland
Sexual descrimination
I recently applied for a job within the company I work for. I was denied the job due to the fact I am not 25 years of age. Not long after I was denied the position a female under 25 years of age was hired for the same position. Do I have a case for descrimination what should I do?

Re: Sexual descrimination
You may have an age discrimination claim and/or a sex discrimination claim. However, I would need the details to help you decide if you should pursue any action. If you did bring an action, you would have to file a claim with either the EEOC or a state human rights agency before you can go to court. You can do that either with or without an attorney.

Re: Sexual descrimination
What you have is solid evidence of pretext. Now the question remains,--has your employer violated a PROTECTED right. For this, you have to inquire more deeply. If you think there has been discrimination, do some reading on the EEOC website, then file a claim.
