A Gender Discrimination Lawyer is a lawyer who is representing a client who claims to have been the victim of discrimination due to sexual status. In other words, gender discrimination lawyers work for clients who feel that they have been denied certain rights because of their gender. In the United States it is currently considered illegal to discriminate against an individual based on that individual's gender. In many cases, gender discrimination lawyers represent clients who feel that they have been discriminated against in the workplace, such as being overlooked for a promotion or a pay raise. The individual would then hire a gender discrimination lawyer to represent them in a court of law. Although there are probably no attorneys who work solely on gender discrimination cases, there are attorneys whose background and experience have made them specialists in gender discrimination law.
