The NFL Players Association and its former longtime associate general counsel have told a federal court in Washington, D.C. that they've reached a tentative agreement to settle the former in-house lawyer's $10 million sex discrimination and retaliation suit against the association.
The Seventh Circuit declined to revive a transgender bus driver's suit claiming the Chicago Transit Authority fired him due to his gender identity, ruling he failed to show the decision was driven by prejudice rather than claims that he took medical leave that wasn't approved.
A decision last week from New York's highest court preserving long-standing age limitations on judicial service left unresolved questions about the reach of a nearly 2-year-old constitutional amendment expanding state antidiscrimination protections, experts said.
