[...] You know how it goes at this time of the year – there are lists, lots of them, both of the best/worst of the year that is past and of resolutions and predictions for the year that is coming. I don’t usually go in for either, but one of those lists directed me to such an interesting post that in this case I’ll make an exception. The list is the 2008 ABA Journal Blawg 100, the 100 best Web sites by lawyers, for lawyers, as chosen by the editors of the ABA Journal. The winning blog in the Law Professors category is Jonathan Turley, and this recent post of his caught my eye: Punitive Extraction: Dental Student Wins $1.7 Million From Four Faculty Members for Dismissal [...]

Not even YOU can believe that this jury verdict will stand. Our appellate courts no longer let large amounts of money change hands no matter what the citizens say!

This is an interesting case. I expect the appeal(s) will make for good reading also. If I read the story correctly, she was dismissed after her 3rd year! That would be a horrible result for this student. What where her grades in the first two years? The story does not give us enough details. I am a little confused how she goes from Dental School to a Masters program in Speech Pathology. Interesting change of career choice. I’ll just have to wait for Chapter Two.

“Zwick now is pursuing a master’s degree in speech pathology at Eastern Michigan University” and has employed a noted attorney on retainer sensing that she is being singled out for failure at this institution also.

The basis for her complaint will be that she is suffering retribution from a system wide good old boy University network. I think she will be pulling this stunt for life.
