Job discrimination can take subtle forms, but being assigned to hear criminal cases isn't one of them, a New Jersey appellate court said last week in a ruling that prevents Judge Francine Schott from suing her superiors for gender bias. The court affirmed dismissal of Schott's claim that her 2001 transfer from civil to criminal cases in Essex County was an adverse job action under state law. The ruling forestalls public airing of a report on how judges feel about the assignment process.
