Supreme Court Rules in Favor of African American Firefighter Candidates   Supreme Court Rules in Favor of African American Firefighter Candidates - 05/24/2010
CLCCRUL represents approximately 6700 African Americans who passed the City of Chicago's 1995 entrance level firefighter test, but who were not considered for hire. In 2005 the trial judge ruled that the 1995 test was racially discriminatory and did not predict successful job performance. On 5/24/10 the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the class of African American candidates. The case will return to the trial judge, who will rule on the remaining remedial issues. The case is Lewis v. City of Chicago.

CLC Praises Bloch v. Frischholz Decision, an Important Fair Housing Precedent of the Federal Court of Appeals in Chicago   CLC Praises Bloch v. Frischholz Decision, an Important Fair Housing Precedent of the Federal Court of Appeals in Chicago - 11/24/2009
Last Friday, November 13, 2009, the federal appeals court in Chicago, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, held that a Jewish family could proceed in its case under federal fair housing laws against its condo board president and association, reversing its previous decision to the contrary. The Bloch family alleges that the condo association, under the guise of its hallway clutter rule, prevented them from placing a mezuzah on their door frame, repeatedly removing them, including on the day of a family member’s funeral. (A mezuzah is a small piece of parchment in a case that observant Jews place on their door frames.) The Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, Inc. and its Fair Housing Project applaud this decision. The unanimous en banc opinion in Bloch v. Frischholz is an important precedent, and its impact goes far beyond the parties in the case.
