New York Attorney General Letitia James says Madison Square Garden lawyer ban may violate anti-bias laws

  New York Attorney General Letitia James says Madison Square Garden lawyer ban may violate anti-bias laws NEW YORK — New York's attorney general warned the owner of Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall on Wednesday that it may be violating anti-bias laws with its practice of barring lawyers from its venues if they work for firms suing the company. The attorney general's office said in a letter to MSG Entertainment that the ban — and the company's use of facial recognition technology to enforce it — may violate anti-discrimination laws and may dissuade lawyers from taking on cases such as sexual harassment or job discrimination claims against the company.
