CRST Van Expedited, Inc. v. EEOC: SCOTUS Grants Review of Case on EEOC Conciliation Requirements

On December 4, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States granted review in CRST Van Expedited, Inc. v. EEOC, which raises the following issue:

Whether a dismissal of a Title VII case, based on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s total failure to satisfy its pre-suit investigation, reasonable cause, and conciliation obligations, can form the basis of an attorney’s fee award to the defendant under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(k).
