How courts have described this case

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

• stating that while “ ‘a somewhat more exacting standard of appellate review should apply’ ” where trial court grants, rather than denies, new trial on damages, “the trial judge’s determination of the propriety of a jury’s damage award warrants substantial deference”
• noting that “[t]he jury’s award . . . [was] significantly higher than any award approved in the context of unconsti- tutional firings,” and approving compensatory damages of $15,000—remitted from $55,000 by trial court—following retaliatory transfer
