WASHINGTON--Three George Washington University Law School students filed a sex discrimination suit this week against four area restaurants that maintain different dress codes for men and women.
The students, Gil Karson, Wayne Kaplan, and Eva Booker, conducted a survey of eight restaurants in the Washington area for a project in their legal activism course.
A group of men and women dressed similarly entered restaurants posting signs requiring men to wear jackets. The restaurants offered jackets to the men but allowed the women to enter dressed as they were.
Banzhaf said the course teaches law students how to be public interest lawyers, adding "This case will test the limits and concepts of society which is moving towards equality of sexes."
