Tishkoff Files Federal Race Lawsuit Against Ann Arbor Board of Education.
Federal Complaint
Tishkoff filed a complaint for Plaintiff Shannon M. Blick against Defendants Ann Arbor Public School District, Ann Arbor Board of Education, Shonta A. Langford, Dawn Linden, David A. Comsa, Jeanice Kerr Swift, Taneia Giles and Michael Madison in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on July 20, 2019.
Subject Matter
Ms. Blick is a 39-year-old, Caucasian female; she is also a wife and mother of three children. Ms. Blick began her employment with AAPSD and AABOE as Principle of Lawton on September 16, 2013. Throughout her employment with AAPSD and AABOE, approximately six years, Ms. Blick maintained an exemplary employment record.
Ms. Blick was treated disparately, harassed, berated, lied to, humiliated, intimated, threatened and ultimately suspended without notice or cause and constructively terminated on April 26, 2019 because of her Caucasian race and because Giles, an African American, coveted Ms. Blick’s position as Principle of Lawton.
Theories of Recovery & Requested Relief
Ms. Blick’s complaint seeks monetary damages and an injunction under the 13th and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution, and for racial discrimination in violation of
42 U.S.C. § 1983,
and the Elliot Larsen Civil Rights Act, MCL 37.280,
et seq

What is Tort Law?
A tort is a civil case in which one party alleges that another caused physical or emotional harm. Tort cases can take many different forms and often relate to a person’s safety, personal property or financial security. Common torts relating to accident and injury include assault or battery cases, and negligence cases in which one party alleges that another party breached their duty of exercising reasonable care.
A tort is an act or omission that gives rise to injury or harm to another and amounts to a civil wrong for which courts impose liability. In the context, of torts, “injury” describes the invasion of any legal right, whereas “harm” describes a loss or detriment in fact that an individual suffers.
The primary aim of tort law is to provide parties with relief for harm caused by others, impose liability on parties responsible for the harm, and deter persons from committing harmful acts. Torts can shift the burden of loss from the injured party to the party who is at fault or better suited to bear the burden of the loss. Torts can be divided into three categories: (1) intentional torts (such as intentionally hitting a person); (2) negligent torts (such as causing an accident by failing to obey traffic rules); and (3) strict liability torts (such as liability for making and selling defect products). There are numerous specific torts, including: trespass, assault, battery, negligence, products liability, intentional infliction of emotional distress, nuisance, defamation, and invasion of privacy.
Tort law is an expansive area of law that covers many different types of injuries and violations, may vary by state and can be very complicated. Each state has their own tort laws based on their common law. If you have questions regarding tort law or a potential case, contact the attorneys at Tishkoff, located in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Property law involves disputes about property ownership and damages to personal property or real estate. There are many different types of property disputes handled by civil litigation attorneys. A common type are disputes regarding property lines, in which one party alleges that a neighbor crossed the property line boundary between their two homes for building or planting. Property disputes can happen for any number of reasons, such as neighbors blocking a view, landlord and their tenants disputing who is responsible for what damage and repairs on a rental property, homeowners and real estate developers arguing over who is responsible for necessary home repairs of new construction, homeowners disputing whether they granted government agencies a utility easement, ownership disputes regarding who is the lawful owner of a given property, and whether a property is properly zoned.
Property disputes may involve specific fact and legal issues. Real property laws vary from state to state. You may wish to hire a lawyer to help resolve a property dispute. Do not hesitate to contact the attorney’s at Tishkoff if you have questions regarding real estate law or property litigation.
