Mark Adams, a partner in the Labor & Employment Practice Group, and Jacob Pritt, an associate in the Labor & Employment Practice Group, wrote the article "5th Circuit Rejects Disability Discrimination Claim Based on Alcoholism," republished by HR Daily Advisor. Mark and Jacob review a recent Fifth Circuit decision which found an employer was not liable to a former employee who alleged he was terminated because of a disability, his alcoholism. Mark and Jacob explain how this opinion offers guidance on how employers can avoid liability when discharging employees.
