Based on a case study that showed a jury would consider a female defense attorney as bolstering the credibility of a male defendant,John,a defendant in a case alleging sexual harassment and rape,insists that the law firm handling his case should assign a female attorney to defend him.However,one of the male attorneys is more qualified to handle the case,and he objects to assigning a female attorney based on John's request.If the law firm assigns a female attorney to John's case,it is:
A) not a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because it is a bona fide occupational qualification based on the case study.
B) a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because it is based on customer preference.
C) not a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because John can articulate a legitimate nondiscriminatory reason for his preference.
D) a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because it is a bona fide occupational qualification for a male defendant to be represented by a male attorney.
