Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney: Bradley T. Case
Description: Rawlins, Wyoming civil litigation lawyer represented Plaintiff, who sued Defendant on a wrongful termination theory.
Stephanie Schofield challenged her termination from the City of Rawlins Fire Department (Fire Department). The district court determined that the procedures leading to her dismissal violated Ms. Schofield's right to due process and reversed the Rawlins Fire Department Civil Service Commission's (Commission) decision terminating her employment. The district court ordered Ms. Schofield be reinstated with back pay. We find the contested case hearing afforded Ms. Schofield due process, and the Commission's decision was supported by substantial evidence in accordance with law.
Outcome: Reversed.
