News Roundup Afternoon Briefs: 5 Jones Day plaintiffs drop claims; no immunity for cop who shocked girl during seizure
Only 1 plaintiff remains in Jones Day pay-bias suit Five of six former associates suing Jones Day for gender bias have dropped their claims. The move follows a decision by all the plaintiffs in December to drop class action pay-bias claims in the suit. The five plaintiffs said in a statement Thursday they dropped the class claims after receiving payroll data that did not support them. “We remain committed to advancing the goal of having greater equity in the legal profession and have now concluded our case against Jones Day,” the statement said. The statement did not indicate whether there was a settlement. The only remaining plaintiff is Katrina Henderson, who alleges pay discrimination, disparate treatment, a hostile work environment and racial bias.
