How courts have described this case

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

• holding that “a district court should not refuse to award front pay merely because some speculation about future earnings is necessary”
• evaluating the plaintiff's argument that his back pay award should reflect the salary of the individual occupying the position he would have occupied, but for discrimination
• rejecting the defendant’s claim that the plaintiff’s case for front pay was unduly speculative because the plaintiff provided both a proposed salary base and a definite duration for the award
• “in some cases the combination will be adequate to sustain a finding of discrimination, in others not”
• under “essential data” rule, where plaintiff established a “prima facie case” for front pay by providing a proposed salary base and duration, district court erred by denying front pay as unduly speculative
