Abstract:
The case of Bazemore vs. Friday has not been settled after 18 years. The case is a discrimination suit filed by black employees of the NC Agricultural Extension Service over salary and promotion discrimination. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of the former employees, but a settlement has not been reached and the state is looking to appeal. Some speculate the state is waiting for the plaintiffs to give up or die as half of the members have already passed away.

Abstract:
Durham resident Erick Daniels was wrongly convicted of robbery and spent seven years in prison before his recent exoneration.

Abstract:
A case involving a mistake by a veterinary clinic causing a dog’s death may have legal implications. The Industrial Commission in Durham will decide on the case later this fall and it could set a precedent for animal law in the state. The cost of how much a pet’s life is worth will be decided by the commission and will likely be the new standard for a pet's value in the state of North Carolina.

Abstract:
Superior Court Judge Howard Manning has ruled in favor of Southern Durham Development and their project to develop land around Jordan Lake. The development was disputed because some argued the development fell within the protected zone around the lake. Manning stated that the fight that happened as a result was due the planning department and their mistakes. Many residents are upset as the development may threaten Jordan Lake and increase pollution in the area.

Abstract:
A panel of three federal judges will meet to determine if North Carolina’s May 6 primary will be held. A lawsuit was recently filed asking for a delay so the courts or legislature can redraw the state’s legislative district boundaries. Redrawing the lines could allow for more Republicans to win elections and the disenfranchisement of black voters by diluting their political power.
