this? In particular, cases that concern workplace bullying?
I'm not a law student; I am trying to get my MBA, and my undergrad was in accounting, so I don't have much experience looking up actual cases. I keep finding state laws but no federal... Help Please!!Where can I find federal laws on Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (IIED) cases...?
Your county law library -- the librarian can help you. If you don't have a county law library, by some chance; call some law firms -- they often maintain libraries.
If you need help determining what book to look in, where -- e-mail me. If I have time to look online, I will %26amp; will edit this or e-mail you.
[EDIT] I did a relatively quick search and found these:
Hustler Magazine v. Falwell, 485 U.S. 46 (1988). This case can be found (word for word) at:
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/ge鈥?/a>
In it, you will find a lot of cases that were relied on to support this decision, so look for the cases cites. (U.S. = Supreme Court cases; F. or F. Supp., = Federal (district) cases.)
I forget exactly what's at this site. I think it's another case, with case law cited also: http://biotech.law.lsu.edu/Courses/torts鈥?/a>
There is general info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intentional鈥?/a>
Put IIED (abbreviated and/or spelled out, in quotes) in the search box at www.findlaw.com -- you might find some cases.
I'll let you know if I find anything else.
[EDIT] This site has to do with bullying in the workplace. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

[EDIT] If you find a U.S. Case you want to read, go to this page. I believe you can pull up the case (word for word) by clicking on the appropriate link (on this page) and then the name/cite of the case.

[EDIT] I found more for you. Amongst websites (below) that you may be interested in, there are Cases cited. The cases cited all have Federal cases (cited) within them, so look at the body of the decisions for more case law. The case I've cited may not be (exactly) what you want, but cases within them may be.

This is an excellent site for info (perhaps). The case I've cited below com from it: http://www.bullyinginstitute.org/studies鈥?/a>
Two US Supreme Court summer 1998 decisions that made employers responsible (';vicarious liability';) for harassment and discrimination by management who act as ';agents'; of employers:
(1) Burlington Industries vs. Ellerth, 123 F.3d 490 (1998), affirmed. This decision fixes ';vicarious liability'; for illegal harassment on the employer. Supervisors are agents of the employer. http://www.bullyinginstitute.org/bbstudi鈥?/a>
(2) Faragher vs. City of Boca Raton, 111 F. 3d 1530 (1998), reversed and remanded. This decision assigns liability for illegal harassment to the employer whether or not the employer was aware of its occurrence. http://www.bullyinginstitute.org/bbstudi鈥?/a>
Also: http://www.bullyinginstitute.org/bbstudi鈥?/a> This case illustrates an alternative motivational theory in which an abusive bully takes advantage of a traditionally female workplace because he is more comfortable when bullying women than when bullying men. CHRISTOPHER v. NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION. [This may be the same case I cited above, or related to, 422 F. 3d 840 (9th Cir. 2005). Read the entire Ruling (in .pdf format) -- a lot of federal cases cited.]Where can I find federal laws on Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (IIED) cases...?
