National Law Journal.
Jennifer B. Salvatore was quoted in a recent National Law Journal article titled "Subpoena tactic in work suits draws fire." The piece discussed a recent decision by a federal judge in New York to prevent the issuing of subpoenas to future or potential employers of the plaintiffs until less intrusive ways to gather the needed information fail.
Asked to comment, Ms. Salvatore pointed out that when plaintiffs see the names of their new employers on witness lists, they may be pushed into dropping a lawsuit out of fear. Ms. Salvatore was quoted as saying, "I'm glad to hear that there's a judge in New York who has recognized these efforts to intimidate plaintiffs... It can be a real stigmatizing thing for somebody for their employer to know that they are suing their former employer."
