in the State and Federal Courts, helping to set important case precedents involving the
First Amendment, employment discrimination, sexual and racial harassment, housing
discrimination, search and seizure, false arrest, municipal liability and whistleblower
protection. Several of Mr. Bergstein’s precedents have attained widespread attention,
including Back v. Hastings-on-Hudson, 365 F.3d 107 (2d Cir. 2005), which established
for the first time that caregiver stereotyping in the workplace violates civil rights laws.

rights matters covering disabilities discrimination, gender discrimination and sexual
harassment, whistleblower protection and government misconduct.

Lawyers’ Association, a bar association that represents the interests of plaintiffs’ civil
rights lawyers. In 2009, Mr. Bergstein was elected to the board of directors of

for the Second Circuit and other courts. (www.secondcircuitcivilrights.blogspot.com).
Mr. Bergstein also lectures on civil rights matters and has been quoted in local and
national media on civil rights topics ranging from law blogging to case law
developments. He regularly provides updates on the civil rights decisions of the U.S.
Court of Appeals at conferences sponsored by NELA/NY and has lectured on workplace
stereotyping, focusing on a case he successfully litigated in the Court of Appeals, Back
v. Hastings-on-Hudson. He has also lectured before human resources professionals,
advising them on the basics of employment law in New York and outlining appropriate
ways to comply with the legal requirements governing public and private employees. In
addition, Mr. Bergstein is a faculty member at Lawline.com, an organization that
provides continuing legal education to attorneys. In that capacity, he has lectured on
