The controversial US Civil Rights Act of 1991, amending Title VII, reversed three prominent civil rights decisions by the US Supreme Court, plus four others. Expanded remedies in the areas of punitive damages and attorneys' fees, changes to jury availability, and possible expanded employment litigation are just a few of the areas affected by this Act and its ramifications. This in-depth discussion of the subject details the changes the Act has brought about and its potential impact, and illustrates how the rights of plaintiffs have been expanded under the new Act
