A demonstrator holds a placard during a rally to mark the one-year anniversary of the Wal-Mart v. Dukes decision, the largest class action lawsuit in history, June 20, 2012 in front of the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC. One year ago today, the Supreme Court?s decision in Wal-Mart v. Dukes prohibited the women of Wal-Mart from joining together to fight discrimination in a single lawsuit. The decision put in place strict standards for bringing class action employment discrimination claims?essentially undermining decades of settled law and ensuring that many of those claims against large employers will be ?disqualified at the starting gate,? as Justice Ginsberg put it in her dissenting opinion. Betty Dukes was the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. AFP PHOTO/Karen BLEIER
