Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green decision established the burden shifting method for establishing a Title VII violation. This method involves an initial burden on the plaintiff to establish a prima facie case of discrimination, after which the burden shifts to the employer to articulate a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for the employment action. If the employer does so, the burden shifts back to the plaintiff to prove that the employer's reason was a pretext for discrimination.
