Illinois-based attorney Brian Kurtz contributed the article, "Fire department employee's discrimination case is hosed," in the January 2016 Illinois Employment Law Letter. His article focuses on a recent decision from the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals that demonstrates how one employer prevailed against a former employee's "cat's paw" theory of discrimination.
