A jury found in her favor on harassment claims (pre- and post-August 28, 2017) and a retaliation claim, awarding damages and attorney's fees. The appellate court reversed the judgment notwithstanding the verdict for Young's pre-August 28, 2017 gender-based harassment claim, concluding the alleged conduct was not objectively severe or pervasive enough to create a hostile work environment. As a result, the attorney's fee award was also reversed and remanded for reconsideration.","primaryTopic":"employment-law","topicSlugs":["employment-law","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=206854","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/beatrice-young-v-missouri-department-of-corrections-d85933","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: employment","topic: employment-law","text: employer","text: discrimination","text: retaliation"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
