Preferred term

Smith v. City of Jackson, Mississippi  

Definition

  • Insofar as Smith v. City of Jackson, Mississippi (2005) involved a dispute over age discrimination in public employment, it should be of interest to educators. At issue in Smith was the nature of the relationship between the legal concept of “disparate impact” and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA).
