Discrimination and other laws

You recently interviewed an African American candidate but did not hire her. When she found out she did not get the job, she called the office and said she felt the hiring decision was discriminatory and she was considering taking legal action. What laws would she base this on? To justify your employment decision, what factors need to be addressed?

In this week's reading assignment, were there any laws you hadn't known about?  Which ones?
