RICHMOND, Va. – A federal appeals court on Tuesday awarded $350,000 in
attorney’s fees to a former Duke University woman football kicker who had
won a $2 million judgment from the school and then lost it on appeal.
Heather Sue Mercer in 2000 won $2 million in a sex-discrimination case
against the school, claiming she was cut from Duke’s football team because
she was a woman. Duke argued on appeal that sex discrimination law does not
include punitive damages, and in 2002 the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
agreed, leaving Mercer with just $1 in compensatory damages.
