Court News | 2009/08/03 13:01
Whether it is belittling comments, persistent criticism or withholding resources, bullying at work is more harmful than a href=http://www.wlfirm.com/practice-areassexual harassment/a, according to Canadian research done last year.span id=midArticle_1/span

It is more difficult for employees to cope with bullying because they have nowhere to turn and no workplace policies or legislation to protect them compared to victims of sexual harassment. Their overall well-being is worse, they are more stressed, angry, anxious, less committed and more likely to quit.span id=midArticle_2/span

Bullying can be done in such an insidious way that unless you're the victim, other people don't even know its happening, Sandy Hershcovis, of the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, said in an interview.span id=midArticle_3/span

Its really hard to get other people to understand or to try to report it.

Supreme Court Overturns 75 Mil Malpractice Suit Verdict In NJ
Court News | 2009/08/01 11:14
Last month, the Supreme Court agreed that the Essex County, New Jersey trial jury participating in a a href=http://www.kellygrouppc.com/john-q-kelly-lawyer-attorney.htmlmedical malpractice/a case involving an infant's brain damage was influenced by discriminatory sources during the choosing of the jury, thus being opposed to the medical professionals involved, as well as to Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, according to the Associated Press.

The Court ruled that this case requires another trial, since there is no way of knowing who the biased jurors were during this case thus the case requires another hearing before a final verdict can be reached. This was the largest New Jersey a href=http://www.kellygrouppc.com/john-q-kelly-lawyer-attorney.htmlmedical malpractice case/a in the history of the state.

Court to weigh state's duty to English learners
Court News | 2009/04/20 09:31
The Supreme Court on Monday takes up an Arizona case that could limit a federal court's power to tell states to spend more money to educate students who aren't proficient in English.
p
Arizona state legislators and the state superintendent of public instruction want to be freed from federal court oversight of the state's programs for English learners. They've been ordered by a lower court judge to spend potentially hundreds of millions of dollars to comply with rulings in a 17-year-old case./ppParents of students attending southern Arizona's Nogales Unified School District sued the state in 1992, contending programs for English-language learners in Nogales were deficient and received inadequate funding from the state./ppIn 2000, a federal judge found that the state had violated the Equal Educational Opportunities Act's requirements for appropriate instruction for English-language learners. He ordered state legislators to create a plan to provide sufficient funds and placed the state's programs for non-English speaking students under court oversight./ppSince then, the two sides have fought over what constitutes compliance with the order. Arizona has more than doubled the amount that schools receive per non-English speaking student and taken several other steps prescribed by the No Child Left Behind Act, a broader education accountability law passed by Congress in 2002./ppPlaintiffs say that's not enough to comply with federal law and a judge agreed. But the state appealed, and now the high court will answer the question./p
