Court of Appeals Upholds $1.52 million Award Against Thurston County

A unanimous Court of Appeals has upheld a jury's $1.52 million award in a hard-fought sex-discrimination lawsuit against Thurston County. The jury's verdict found that three former Thurston County deputy prosecutors were forced to endure a hostile work environment and suffered retaliation after they complained about their treatment. Stephanie Bloomfield and Rick Creatura successfully represented the former prosecutors at trial and on appeal. A copy of the decision is attached here.
