Dillard Department Stores, Inc. v. Hampton

How later courts describe this case

• finding that where two African American women had been suspected of shoplifting and briefly detained on the basis of their race, the store’s conduct was sufficiently reprehensible to support the award of $1.1 million in punitive damages
• applying Gore guideposts to argument that punitive damages award for violation of Title VII violated the Fifth Amendment
• "Because the jury rejected the Plaintiffs’ claims that they were constructively discharged, the district court did not err in concluding that they were not entitled to back or front pay.”
