Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Colorado

Re: Earrings in School

You may have a gender-based discrimination claim. There have been, as you can imagine, numerous similar suits addressing disparate rules regulating haircuts, clothes, etc. I am not aware of any seminal case addressing jewelry or earings, however. It is a very interesting issue.

We are busy and probably not able to take on another client matter at this time; I would, however, be more than happy to chat with you on the phone and, if unable to assist you ourselves, I certainly can refer you to several other excellent firms and attorneys.

Re: Earrings in School

You might have a claim for discrimination based on gender.

That certainly would be the case in Illinois and probably in most other

states.
