Judge: Title IX plaintiffs can use IL law to retroactively demand ’emotional distress’ damages – Cook County Record

U.S. District Judge Marvin E. Aspen specifically declared that the new Illinois law, known as the Civil Rights Remedies Restoration Act (CRRRA), should allow plaintiffs to demand schools and other institutions which receive federal funding under Title IX pay damages for emotional distress. And the judge said those demands can be applied retroactively, to lawsuits filed before the law took effect.
