I Spoke to a couple lawyers today


Both of them were interested however both asked for a consultation fee, one was $200.  Personally I don't feel the need to go about having to pay a consultation fee...I informed the lawyers to come to this website, look at all the discussions, and if you think that we have a case to get this exam thrown out than give us a call back and let us know and we will go forward with it.  The ideas expressed on this website can explain things a lot better than any consultation with a lawyer can do. 

If anyone wants to help out by reaching out to potential lawyers than please do and message me.

Please, enough with the lawyers, do you really think they give a rat's ass about you or anyone of us?  For that matter does anybody really care that 2500 sergeants took an off the wall exam and are pissed off about it?

A lot of members were totally confused and upset by the direction DCAS and the department took with regards to this exam. Alot of you are angry now and want to fight back, and I think you all have the right to angry and upset, especially those who put their lives on hold and studies hard.

But I wonder how many of you will still be willing to fight once the official answer key comes out and realize that you actually may make the list? Judging from the prior lieutenants exam making the list does not guarantee that you will be promoted. How many of you will look past it all and realize that there were serious issues with this exam and still fight? 

The Vulcan Society of the FDNY won a court case in federal court because many questions on their entry level and promotional exam mirrored that of a SHAT exam and did not reflect their actal rules and regulations or job description/duties of a fireman. Even though part of the basis for the lawsuit was based on discrimination, if you read through the actual court document, you will see that it was about more than that. 

The agency that took on this case was The Center For Constitutional Justice located at 666 Broadway, 7fl. 212-614-6464 and the lawyer was Darius Charney.

I will share this link with you all and you be the judge. http://www.justice.gov/crt/spec_topics/fdny/documents/doc_385.pdf

I did not read the entire document but it started getting interesting by page 10 and the final decision. 

I hope in spite of this fiasco, a lot of you will not only make the list but also get promoted.

 

Good luck and happy reading

I took that 2006 FD test and the questions on this LT test were very similar. I thought that right away when taking this test.

If you read the final decision of the federal court, the city and DCAS basically did not provide any reasonable evidence to the court as to why they administered such a subjective exam. As a result, they lost their case in fedreal court which speaks volumes.
