Analysis of FCHR Case Outcomes | By Demographics
Plaintiff's National Origins

Fact #1: For cases involving a North American plaintiff, 4% resulted in a victory.

• This is slightly higher than the rate for foreign litigants (3%).
• Plus, it’s higher than the global average (3%).

Fact #2: For cases involving a North American plaintiff, 56% resulted in a loss.

• This is slightly lower than the rate for foreign litigants (59%).
• However, it’s much higher than the global average (40%).

Fact #3: For cases involving a North American plaintiff, 24% resulted in an explicit settlement.

• This is much higher than the rate for foreign litigants (18%).
• It’s right at the global average (25%).

Takeaway #1: National Origin has a meaningful impact on the outcome of a case.

• Simply put, North American plaintiffs get better legal outcomes than non North Americans (better rates of: victory, losses, settlements, dismissals, and so on)

Additional: These numbers can be further analyzed by:

(a) case type;
(b) charge (eg, age, col, etc.);
(c) determination impact; (ie, 'cause' vs 'no cause')
(d) legal representation; (ie, 'with attorney' vs 'without attorney')
(e) retaliation impact (ie, 'with' vs 'without' [retaliation]); and
(f) year;
