How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that, where particular discriminatory practices listed by a complaint in support of a sex discrimination action are “merely illustrative (‘not limited to’), the complaint would not fail even if none of [the listed discriminatory practices] were actionable”
• where plaintiff sought relief under alternative legal theories, court notes that summary judgment as to only one of those theories would be proper
• “A plaintiff who files a long and detailed complaint may plead himself out of court by including factual allegations which if true show that his legal rights were not invaded.”
• employer’s reliance on market-based system of compensation, even with knowledge that those rates did not comport with comparable worth study, would not violate Title VII
• \The idea of 'a plain and short statement of the claim' has not caught on.\
• “[T]he issue of comparable worth ... is not of the sort that judges are well equipped to resolve intelligently.”
