A new “zero tolerance” manual issued by the American Bar Association, which includes a preface by Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll of counsel Anita Hill, seeks to provide guidance to the U.S. legal profession in combating sexual harassment in the workplace.

“Zero Tolerance: Best Practices for Combating Sex-Based Harassment in the Legal Profession” is an updated version of a manual first developed by the ABA's Commission on Women in the Profession in 2007.

This latest version focuses on issues of sexual harassment and bullying within the legal profession and provides more explicit policy advice and guidance for legal industry leaders to follow in order to help eradicate misconduct among their ranks.
