This form contains sample jury instructions, to be used across the United States. These questions are to be used only as a model, and should be altered to more perfectly fit your own cause of action needs. Kansas Jury Instruction — 1.2.1 Race And Or Sex Discrimination Discharge — Failure To PromotIncludingin— - Same Decision Defense is a legal instruction used in Kansas courts to guide the jury in cases involving allegations of race and/or sex discrimination leading to discharge or failure to promote in employment settings. This instruction specifically focuses on the defense of "same decision" in such cases. In employment discrimination cases, it is crucial to prove that the adverse employment action was motivated by discriminatory factors such as race or sex. This instruction helps to narrow down the aspect of discharge or failure to promote and assess whether the defense of "same decision" applies to the case. The "same decision" defense asserts that the employer's decision to discharge or not promote the plaintiff was made for legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons, unrelated to race or sex. If the defendant can provide evidence to support this defense, it may serve as a rebuttal against the plaintiff's claims of discrimination. It's important to note that Kansas Jury Instruction — 1.2.1 Race And Or Sex Discrimination Discharge — Failure To PromotIncludingin— - Same Decision Defense may have different variations or subtypes depending on the specific facts and circumstances of the case. These variations may include: 1.1 Different Decision Defense: This defense, instead of "same decision," argues that the employer made different decisions based on legitimate, non-discriminatory factors in discharging or promoting employees, and race or sex played no role in the decision-making process. 1.2 Lack of Evidence Defense: This defense contends that the plaintiff has failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove that the employer's decision was motivated by racial or sexual discrimination, thus asserting that the discriminatory event did not occur. 1.3 Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFO) Defense: Under certain circumstances, employers can assert a BFO defense, stating that the decision not to employ or promote an individual of a particular race or sex is justified by a business necessity or essential qualification for the job. Overall, Kansas Jury Instruction — 1.2.1 Race And Or Sex Discrimination Discharge — Failure To PromotIncludingin— - Same Decision Defense serves as a critical component in employment discrimination cases in Kansas, allowing the jury to understand and evaluate the defendant's defense strategies against allegations of race or sex discrimination in discharge or failure to promote situations.
