9th Cir: En Banc Review for Alaska v. EEOC
Jump to Comments
The 9th Circuit this morning ordered en banc review of the panel decision in State of Alaska v. EEOC, 508 F.3d 476 (9th Cir. 2007), in which the panel held that the State has 11th Amendment immunity for Title VII claims filed by several policymaking officials appointed by former Gov. Walter Hickel, including Margaret Ward.
We discussed the panel’s opinion back in November. Washington University Law Professor Sam Bagenstos filed a petition for rehearing on behalf of Ward (also represented by Anchorage attorney and AEL blog contributor Lee Holen) that may have been influential.
