Also wrongful termination suit. Discovery in a suit might produce very interesting documents and e-mails in the university.
Wrongful termination suits are FEDERAL CASES if they involve discrimination. In the current climate before a Federal Jury, there's a chance to win a case like that. But, does the wronged party have enough money to pay up front fees to a trial attorney? That's the only drawback.
I worked on Federal Cases but was on the defense side. We had a thousand exhibits.
The first step is to contact the EEOC. Maybe there's no need for an attorney for the beginning of the WT claim. Please tell whomever may need the information that is how you get started. I am late getting to this thread.
