OLYMPIA, Wash. (Legal Newsline) – Protection from lawsuits for religious institutions in an anti-discrimination law is OK, the Washington Supreme Court recently ruled, but a Seattle group is not free from litigation yet for refusing to hire a gay man for its open lawyer position. The defendant in attorney Matthew Woods’ lawsuit, which had failed at the trial court level, might not qualify for the exception, a March 4 opinion written by Justice Barbara Madsen that refused to strike down the state legislature’s work on the Washington Law Against Discrimination.

The decision in Woods’ case on the constitutionality of the exemption was in line with previous challenges.
