Definition
Disparate Impact refers to a situation where a seemingly neutral employment or legal policy, rule, or practice has a disproportionately adverse effect on a specific group defined by race, gender, age, or other protected characteristic. While the policy may not be intentionally discriminatory, the end result creates inequality, often prompting legal scrutiny.
