Evening Star Newspaper v. Kemp
United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia

Relevant factsFree
Nathan Kemp (plaintiff) drove a delivery truck for the Evening Star Newspaper Company (defendant) and was shot while on duty. An Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), after a hearing, found that Kemp's death arose out of and in the course of his employment and awarded his widow compensation under the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act. The Department of Labor's Benefit Review Board affirmed, and the Evening Star sought reversal in federal court.
