I didn't know until I read taht that the amount in Wisc was $5000. Also, the means test is very strict.

These items from the link were also interesting:

<Will not hear an appeal by nine white Chicago firefighters who say they were unlawfully passed over for promotion in favor of blacks and Hispanics.

And

< Said it would decide whether police who take news reporters into people's homes, or onto their private property, while seeking to make an arrest can be sued for violating the residents' constitutional rights. The court agreed to hear an appeal by a Maryland couple photographed in their nightclothes by a newspaperwoman as police unsuccessfully sought to arrest their son. >
