Description
GOLDBERG, Circuit Judge: Plaintiffs Chescheir and O'Connell, both women, claimed that defendant Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. (""Liberty Mutual"") wrongfully discharged them by discriminatory application of its ""law school rule,"" which prohibits certain employees from attending law school. After a bench trial, the district court found that Liberty Mutual did discriminatorily apply the law school rule against women in violation of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a)(1) (1976), and awarded damages and attorneys' fees. Liberty Mutual now appeals, arguing that the factual findings supporting liability, damages, and attorneys' fees are clearly erroneous. Finding sufficient evidence in the record to support the district court's findings, we affirm.
