Geography might also be a reason, Barnes said. If the EEOC hasn’t taken on a case in a particular region in several years, it might choose a case there to raise awareness of federal laws, said Weinberg Law Firm, Employment Lawyer Dallas.
Or the EEOC might take on a case because it is particularly egregious, she said.
“If nothing else, we want to let employers know that the government cares about this, and if you aren’t going to do something about it, we will,” Barnes said.

While some believe placing blame in this story is inappropriate considering the insurmountable loss experienced by both everyone involved, it doesn’t change the fact that seven people died because of Mrs. Schuler’s actions, said Michael Bialys, California DUI lawyer.

Military Criticized in Report on Soldier Electrocution in New York
Heather Browne, a KBR spokeswoman, said the company had not seen the report and would not comment on the contents. But she said in an e-mail message that while Sergeant Maseth’s death was tragic, the company maintains that it is not responsible. She said that KBR informed the military of the absence of grounding and bonding in the structure nine months before Sergeant Maseth’s death, said John Q. Kelly, New York electrocution attorney.
“Prior to that incident, the military never directed KBR to repair, upgrade or improve the grounding system in the building in which Maseth resided, nor was KBR directed to perform any preventative maintenance at this facility,” Ms. Browne said.

The Criminal Defense Lawyer as a Hero
Adds Mr. Kelley: ''These people will be, depending on the episode, not always doing the morally or politically correct thing. I think that they'll be open about it, though.
''The fact is that the bulk of any criminal defense practice is defending criminals, and most criminals have committed the act they're charged with. The trick -- or the hope -- of all this is to get the audience to root for the lawyer even while vesting no sympathy in the clients or the case.''
In hopes of aiding that process Orange County criminal defense lawyer has avoided populating ''The Practice'' with the highly-paid, slick, Armani-suited legal eagles seen in ''L.A. Law'' and his mentor Steven Bochco's ''Murder One.''
Instead, the series is centered around Bobby Donnell, played by movie actor Dylan McDermott (''Home for the Holidays,'' ''Hamburger Hill,'' ''Miracle on 34th Street''), an intense, idealistic young Boston attorney who heads up a small band of likeminded practitioners.

Families of passengers on downed Chicago chopper 'voluntarily discontinue' lawsuit
By Michael Tutton (CP) – 4 hours ago
Since then, one passenger's family was added to the suit, bringing the total to 16 families involved in the action.
The plaintiffs alleged the U.S. firms hadn't correctly indicated how long pilots could safely fly if oil leaked out of the helicopter's gearbox.
But in court documents filed on July 14, the Chicago aviation lawyer say they have "voluntarily discontinued" the lawsuit, "to engage in alternative dispute resolution before further litigation."

Suit filed over Pittsburgh DWI crash that killed 5
Tuesday, July 07, 2009
The Associated Press
Mr. Stone was convicted in 2008 of 25 charges, including five counts of DUI causing death. He was sentenced to up to 56 years in prison.
Killed in the crash on Interstate 68 near Morgantown were: Courtney Evans, 30, of Baltimore and his 12-year-old son, Sawyer; and Donnell Perry, 52, of Clarksburg and his daughters, Jentil, 15, and Jacquesha, 13.
The Perrys had recently moved to Clarksburg from Middletown, Conn.
Investigators said Mr. Stone struck the rear of the Evans' vehicle, forcing it across the median and into oncoming traffic -- and the Perrys' vehicle -- on Interstate 68 near Cheat Lake.
The lawsuit also claims seven people who were injured have suffered "serious, severe and permanent physical and emotional injuries."
Mr. Stone had been charged with at least six DUIs in West Virginia and Pennsylvania and convicted of three of them before the deadly accident.
He has repeatedly claimed he is not to blame. He says either his tire blew out or he was hit from behind.
