Government Liability
Orr, Brown & Billips regularly represents employees of governmental entities in discrimination cases. Government liability cases differ from private employer cases because there are additional issues to address. Our partners are knowledgeable about those issues and are well-versed in litigating against governmental entities.
Education Law
Orr, Brown & Billips represents teachers, paraprofessionals, bus drivers, and other employees of school districts in disputes with school districts. Cases involving school districts differ from private employer cases because school districts are governmental entities. And, teachers’ cases are unique because some teachers have due process rights under the Fair Dismissal Act which requires a hearing before a nonrenewal or termination. The partners at Orr, Brown & Billips have handled such cases for a combined forty plus years.
