A checklist providing an outline of the legal main arguments for an employer to consider when preparing a memorandum of law in support of an employer's motion for summary judgment in a single plaintiff employment discrimination case alleging disparate treatment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII).
