An attorney who suggested that his female colleague was going through menopause was ordered last week by a federal judge to pay the colleague $1,000.
The lawyer, Camilo Salas, made the comment during a deposition in which Dora Monserrate-Peñagarícano, his opposing counsel, complained that the room was hot. In response, Salas said, in front of 14 attorneys, "you're still hot? You’re not getting menopause, I hope."
