The Noble Law Firm Calls For Review of Title VII and Sexual Harassment Definitions:

53 years ago the landmark Civil Rights Act was passed. In Title VII of this law, sexual harassment is described as a form of sex discrimination.

These definitions and guidelines of the existing law are vague and often interpreted by judges, which could be of detriment to sexual harassment or assault victims. Laura Noble, Managing Partner of The Noble Law Firm, is calling for a review of Title VII to reflect modern times and advances in technology/communications.

“In the past two months alone, we have seen a 500% increase in calls related to sexual harassment claims. The time to review existing laws on the books is now,” said Noble. “Many states, including North Carolina, do not have sexual harassment laws and revert to the federal statue, which is outdated and subject to vague interpretation. If we are serious as a society of addressing these issues head on, it starts by reflecting on these existing laws today.”
