While true you can't deduct it on Schedule A, you can reduce Gross Income. I got pointed to the following answer from Turbo Tax:
Yes, you still can deduct legal fees for unlawful discrimination claims in 2018. However, remember that your deduction for legal fees in employment and qualifying whistleblower cases cannot exceed the income you receive from the lawsuit in the same tax year.
To enter your qualifying legal fees,
In your open Federal return, choose the tab for Wages & Income
Scroll down to Less Common Income and Show more
Start/Revisit Miscellaneous Income and choose Other reportable income
Say Yes to continue to the screen "Other Taxable Income". Enter the description "Qualifying Legal Fees" and the amount as a negative number.
A corresponding subtraction will be entered on Line 21 of your return.
