Female Cook County Assistant Public Defenders have endured extreme and pervasive sexual assaults and harassment in the workplace for years. Potter Bolaños filed a class action lawsuit on their behalf on November 8, 2017. Read more about the case here.

Rule 30(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure plays an important role in both individual and class action cases. It allows for depositions of corporate or other business entities, which employees use to gain important information about employers’ policies, practices, and potentially unlawful behavior.

Proposed changes to Rule 30(b)(6), however, seek to limit the these depositions’ effectiveness and tilt the balance against employees when issues arise. Potter Bolaños submitted comments opposing the Rule changes as part of our effort to monitor and respond to changes in the law and to keep a level playing field between employees and employers.
