Reverse Discrimination Claim Succeeds
The Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court recently affirmed a jury verdict in favor of a white female police officer who claimed reverse discrimination after she was passed over for a promotion.
The plaintiff became a Trenton police officer in 1988, eventually advancing from patrol officer to detective. She passed the sergeant's exam in 1994 and was placed on the promotional list.
