Description: In the state of New Hampshire, when it comes to public employees who claim to have experienced discriminatory treatment based on their race or sex, a special set of instructions known as New Hampshire Jury Instruction — 1.1.3 comes into play. This instruction addresses the issue of hostile work environments and the concept of separate liability for race and/or sex discrimination claims brought by public employees. Hostile work environments occur when an employee is subjected to unwelcome and pervasive harassment based on their race or sex, which alters the terms and conditions of their employment and creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. In cases where a public employee alleges such discrimination, New Hampshire Jury Instruction — 1.1.3 provides guidance to the jury on how to assess liability and assign responsibility. The instruction emphasizes that a separate analysis must be undertaken when determining liability for race and sex discrimination claims in hostile work environment cases involving public employees. This means that the jury must evaluate each claim separately, considering the unique circumstances of each form of discrimination. In instances where both race and sex discrimination claims are raised, the jury is directed to evaluate the evidence presented independently for each type of discrimination. The instruction guides the jury to consider whether the alleged conduct was motivated by race discrimination, sex discrimination, or both when determining liability. It is important to note that this instruction helps the jury understand that, under applicable New Hampshire law, separate liability can exist for race and/or sex discrimination claims in a hostile work environment. This means that a defendant can be held liable for one type of discrimination while not being held liable for the other. The jury must carefully assess the evidence presented and apply the law to reach a fair and just verdict. Overall, New Hampshire Jury Instruction — 1.1.3 is a crucial tool that ensures the jury examines race and sex discrimination claims separately in cases brought by public employees alleging a hostile work environment. By taking into account the distinct nature of discrimination based on race and sex, this instruction helps promote fairness and impartiality in determining liability in such cases.
