A group of white New Haven, Conn., firefighters who won a discrimination case before the U.S. Supreme Court are seeking back pay, damages and legal fees.

The firefighters' attorney has now filed papers arguing they're entitled to back pay with interest for long-overdue promotions, several categories of damages and attorney fees.
