Frank v. United Airlines Employment Discrimination Lawsuit
Lieff Cabraser and co-counsel obtained a $36.5 million settlement in February 2004 for a class of female flight attendants who were required to weigh less than comparable male flight attendants.
Former U.S. District Court Judge Charles B. Renfrew (ret.), who served as a mediator in the case, stated,
