The plaintiff in the case applied for an attorney position at CareFusion Corp., then sued under a disparate impact liability theory after he wasn’t chosen. He challenged the requirement that job applicants have three to seven—and no more than seven—years of relevant legal experience. The plaintiff was 58 at the time he applied and had more than seven years of experience. A 29-year-old applicant who met but did not exceed the prescribed experience requirement was selected.
