[co-author: Ridhima Bhalla]Seyfarth Synopsis: Following a handful of sluggish years in terms of EEOC litigation activity, the Commission returned to form by filing 144 merit lawsuits in Fiscal Year 2023. Given that the EEOC finally secured its Democratic majority and had a notably active FY 2023, many expected the Commission to continue this momentum into FY 2024. However, the exact opposite happened—at the time of publication, the EEOC filed only 96 merit lawsuits.

Seyfarth Synopsis: Following the
EEOC's aggressive litigation posture in the Obama-era, the
Commission's federal case filings has been markedly sluggish,

hefty budget increase and a likely Democratic majority, and we further anticipated a substantial increase
in filings from the Commission this year. The EEOC did not
disappoint.
