On July 1, the Chicago Lawyer Chapter held a brown bag luncheon discussion of the Supreme Court's decision in CBOCS West, Inc. v. Humphries, led by Cynthia Hyndman, the lawyer who won the case. The case holds that the Civil Rights Act of 1866 prohibits retaliation against workers who complain about racial discrimination. A dozen lawyers gathered for the discussion, which covered such subjects as why the Court took the case at all when every circuit to address the issue had agreed that the statute prohibited retaliation, how the case was briefed and the argument prepared, and why the opinion was written the way it was.
