Dr. Ralph Slaughter v. Louisiana State Employees' Retirement System
Paid petition · Court of Appeal of Louisiana, First Circuit, No. 2020 CA 0881 · judgment March 25, 2021
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Does the statutory scheme of the Louisiana State Employees’ Retirement System (“LASERS”) violate the Equal Protection Clause by defining earned compensation as excluding supplemental pay for purposes of calculating retirement benefits, where supplemental pay is included in the definition of earned compensation for state judges, law enforcement officers, teachers, and firefighters, thus treating them more favorably than those state employees other than judges, who are forced by law to participate in LASERS?
