Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

Yes. At the trial the district court placed the burden of proof on the city, and the plaintiffs won the lawsuit. The Court of Appeals made it clear that the burden of proof was properly on the plaintiff-applicants to show that the city's use of the polygraph test could not reasonably be believed to pro-duce a better-qualified group of new hires than would be chosen absent the polygraph test requirements. Since the plaintiffs did not meet the burden, they lost the case.
