More on how this was screened

That disagreement is listed below. Later courts continue to apply Andrews's sexual harassment and supervisory liability rules.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

30 later cases cite Andrews v. City of Philadelphia; 30 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

Declined to follow

  • The Tenth Circuit rejected Andrews's conclusion that it was clearly established by 1986 that sexual harassment by a state employer violated the Equal Protection Clause.

    Woodward v. City of Worland · Tenth Circuit · filed

    Alternatively, Andrews may be read as holding that because sexual discrimination was clearly actionable in 1986, it was clearly established that sexual harassment, a form of discrimination, was also actionable. On this reading as well, we respectfully disagree with Andrews.
