Pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Congress gave the Commission authority to commence or intervene in litigation against private sector employers to enforce the nation's employment discrimination laws, and to the Commission's General Counsel the responsibility to conduct such litigation. The revised litigation delegation, last modified in March 2020, maintains the categories of litigation which must be approved by the Commission, including cases where the Commission has taken a position contrary to the precedent in the Circuit in which it will be filed, cases where the General Counsel proposes to take a position contrary to the precedent in the Circuit where it will be filed, and cases the General Counsel believes are appropriate for Commission approval.
