bona fide occupational qualification

Read a random definition: contemplation of insolvency

A quick definition of bona fide occupational qualification:

A bona fide occupational qualification is a job requirement that may discriminate against a certain group of people, but is necessary for the job to be done properly. For example, a job that requires a certain physical ability or language proficiency. This type of qualification is allowed under the law, even if it goes against anti-discrimination laws, as long as it is essential for the job. It is abbreviated as BFOQ.

A more thorough explanation:

A bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) is a job requirement that may discriminate against a protected class, such as sex, religion, or national origin, but is necessary for the job. This type of qualification is not illegal under federal employment-discrimination laws.

For example, a religious organization may require that its leaders be of a certain faith, even if it means excluding people of other religions. This is considered a BFOQ because the job requires someone who shares the same beliefs as the organization.

Another example is a modeling agency that only hires female models for women's clothing. This is considered a BFOQ because the job requires someone of a specific gender to accurately represent the clothing being sold.

Overall, a BFOQ is a defense against discrimination claims when the job requires a specific characteristic that is necessary for the job. It is important to note that the BFOQ must be related to an essential job duty and considered reasonably necessary to the operation of the particular business.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
