Abstract

This article pertains to the federal False Claims Act. The article's primary focus is on an employee's rights when his/her employer exercises retaliatory conduct resulting from the employee's whistleblowing. The article analyzes a successful claim brought by a terminated employee and describes the stringent requirements one federal district court uses to keep FCA trials out of its system. Two issues presented to the Supreme Court during the 1999-2000 session are also discussed.
