To prove discrimination in the workplace, wrongful termination or workplace retaliation in California, you may need to present evidence that: You have been treated unjustly based on one of your protected characteristics. You are qualified, capable and honest and performed your job satisfactorily.

However, discrimination is a state of mind and, therefore, notoriously hard to prove. Sophisticated employers are well aware that discrimination is illegal. Thus, most cases are established through circumstantial evidence.

The overwhelming majority of civil cases are resolved prior to trial – either through judicial order (for example, when the judge grants a dispositive motion filed by one of the parties) or through a settlement between the parties.

The burden of proof may require a party to raise a reasonable doubt concerning the existence or nonexistence of a fact or that he establish the existence or nonexistence of a fact by a preponderance of the evidence, by clear and convincing proof, or by proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

These include dismissals for: (b)(1) a lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. (b)(2) a lack of personal jurisdiction. (b)(3) improper venue.

In general, a complaint of employment discrimination must be filed within three years from the date an alleged discriminatory act occurred. You must file a complaint with CRD even if you wish to file a case directly in court.

In employment cases, you must submit an intake form to CRD within three years of the date you were last harmed. In most other cases, you must do this within one year of the date you were last harmed. You do not have to use the CRD investigation process. You can instead file your own lawsuit.
