Legally - it shouldn't have any effect whatsoever. In reality though... say I've got a choice - two completely equally qualified individuals both want to work for me. Identical in every way but this: One of them sued a former employer (won, lost, whatever); the other has left all of their previous jobs amicably. I'm going to find a reason to hire the latter applicant.

Won't lie to you, if the next company finds out, it will weigh on their mind. HR folks know each other. If you are in a city like Atlanta or Chicago, the odds are slim the next company will know (and you shouldn't be listing in in the interview as the reason you left!).
Live in Fort Wayne or Springfield? That could pose a problem. But, do the right thing. If your previous employer settles to avoid embarassment, you may have enough funds to move on to the next city and start over.
You have to decide on this one.

Don't ever mention it to your new employer. If your case doesn't make the local newspapers, and I assume it's not that big to be in the newspapers, they will never find out.
The other way they might find out is through the reference from your old employer. If asking for a reference, make sure you get one from a coworker who is your friend. Remember - your best reference is not necessarily the one from your boss. The best reference is the one that shows how well you can perform the task. Boss is not the only one who can judge that.

a million) you may want to easily be honest and tell them, yet you could't could recount the files of a few thing so own and humiliating. and look at been the sufferer, yet even a sympathetic employer would even see you as a conceivable troublemaker and prefer to play it secure for his business enterprise by skill of passing you over. it can't be honest, yet *any* negative comments you're making about a former employer or coworker will probable rebound on you. incorrect or proper, employers opt for workers who continually "play tremendous", no longer those who "rock the boat". 2) you may want to placed down "own causes", yet at the same time as it includes issues which will be appropriate to a business enterprise proprietor's salary, there is only no such component as a own count as far as he/she is worried. they are going to probable only see you as being evasive, secretive, or uncooperative and sweetness about what it really is you're hiding. 3) arise with some accessible B.S. which isn't the fairly rationalization why you left, yet can't be disproven both. only say you're searching for a better paying pastime or a job website it truly is in the course of your position or kin. or possibly you could say that your previous pastime became getting somewhat too boring, you opt for some thing diverse and larger complicated and there became only no room for further progression at your previous employer. in case you look difficult adequate, i'm confident you'll locate some thing else that you probably did not like about your previous pastime that would not probably make you look undesirable. as well, no pastime application asks you to position in writing each and each of the reason why you left, only one reason will suffice and it would not prefer to be the most controversial one.

Depends on the industry and the job. Also if your court case has gotten huge exposure then it too is unlikely.

Well I would say slim to none if they found out. Though it would be discrimmination. I would say anything to a prospective employer about it.
