Former North Dakota Attorney General Nicholas Spaeth has sued Georgetown Law School claiming age discrimination in a failure-to-hire case. Spaeth sought employment in legal academia at a faculty recruitment conference in 2010. He claims that Georgetown's emphasis on hiring "young scholars" and "young cohorts" indicates that age discrimination was a factor in the school's failure to hire him. Georgetown argues that "young" really just means "new."

When was the last time an employer said we've got to get some new people in here and then went out and hired a group of 50+ year olds? "Young" almost always means that: young.
