Abstract

The article discusses the conflict of the decision made by the district court concerning the lawsuit of firefighters against the City of New Haven, Connecticut. The district court held that Title VII, the Equal Protection Clause and disparate treatment prohibition, was controlling and dismissed the equal protection claim. However, the Supreme Court reversed the decision stating that the action of the City presumptively violated the disparate treatment prohibition of Title VII.

Abstract

EIGHT state troopers have filed a federal lawsuit against State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, charging that he is unable to protect whistleblowers in cases against the state government because his office also has to defend those accused of wrongdoing. The lawsuit, filed Dec. 22 in United States District Court in New Haven, said that Mr. Blumenthal was unable to protect the whistleblowers from harassment and retaliation after they came forward and cooperated with a 2006 investigation into charges of corruption within the State Police.
