Employment discrimination charges must be investigated by the EEOC before employees can take their complaints to court. Typically, the EEOC will determine whether there is reasonable evidence for the claim. But no matter what the finding, the employee can proceed to court after the EEOC rules.
In relatively few cases, the EEOC will take on a case and sue on the employee’s behalf, said Weinberg Law Firm, Employment Lawyer Dallas.

Los Angeles Wrong Way DUI – Who Should We Believe?
LOS ANGELES - Then there’s the Schuler’s insurance policy, as well as the policies of the other drivers. Without knowing specifics, it’s difficult to tell what the victims will receive from the policies, but it will surely be grossly inadequate, said Michael Bialys, California DUI lawyer.
The dram shop act in NY may apply if new facts are revealed, but at this time it doesn’t seem likely it will be brought up (I talk about TN’s dram shop act in an earlier post here). Most likely, the civil litigation is going to revolve around the investigations ongoing: What role did Mr. Schuler really have in his wife’s addiction?

Military Criticized in Report on Soldier Electrocution in New York
The inspector general said in the findings that “multiple systems and organizations” failed and exposed Sergeant Maseth to “unacceptable risk.”
The report said that Sergeant Maseth, 24, was electrocuted while showering when he came in contact with water pipes that had become energized because of the failure of a water pump that had not been grounded. It says that the military contractor KBR, based in Houston, installed the pump and adjacent water tanks, said John Q. Kelly, New York electrocution attorney.

The Criminal Defense Lawyer as a Hero
''We hope that everyone sort of believes in the moral integrity of each character.''
That is certainly the fervent hope of ABC, which is giving ''The Practice'' a six-week trial run in the plum 10 P.M. time slot usually occupied by ''NYPD Blue'' (That show will be on hiatus until April 15).
''Dylan McDermott will be a TV star. The supporting cast is excellent,'' says Orange County criminal defense lawyer, president of ABC Entertaiment, who declares herself ''1,000 percent,'' behind the show -- which was developed before her move from NBC to ABC last year.
Adds Ms. Tarses: ''And nobody writes legal ethical issues better than David Kelley.''
Indeed, ABC's commitment to ''The Practice'' is, if anything, an expression of faith in Mr. Kelley, who notwithstanding his early excursion into law practice seems to have been destined to write 47-minute dramas.
Born in Maine, Mr. Kelley grew up outside Boston and graduated from Princeton and Boston University School of Law. As a beginning civil litigant he often found himself spending hours in courthouses waiting for his cases to be called.

Families of passengers on downed Chicago chopper 'voluntarily discontinue' lawsuit
By Michael Tutton (CP) – 4 hours ago
The issue of the aircraft's ability to operate without lubricating oil for the gearbox was a key allegation in the 113-page statement of complaint.
Chicago aviation lawyer argued the pilots believed the aircraft met U.S. Federal Aviation Administration regulations that certified the aircraft could operate for 30 minutes after losing oil.
They alleged the pilots kept flying the aircraft towards land on that basis, rather than rapidly landing it on the water.
