Fifth Circuit Court Overturns Southwest Airlines’ ‘Religious Liberty Training’ Order for Lawyers

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals recently reversed a lower court’s mandate requiring several in-house attorneys at Southwest Airlines to participate in “religious liberty training.” This order stemmed from a wrongful termination lawsuit won by a flight attendant. The appeals court concluded that such training would neither aid the flight attendant nor compel Southwest to adhere to a prior ruling.
