Employment Discrimination - Title VII - Back Pay - Attorney’s Fees

Lawyers for the plaintiff in a federal employment discrimination lawsuit pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia in Richmond were awarded attorneys’ fees of $107,000 on December 23, 2008.  At trial, a jury awarded Hartnett $200,000 for her claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 against the Brunswick County school board.  Judge Henry Hudson, in addition to awarding attorneys’ fees, awarded Hartnett back pay in the amount of $34,167.  In reaching its determination as to the appropriate award of fees to make, the court looked at the prevailing market rate for attorneys with similar experience in Richmond, Virginia.
