$9.57M School Bullying Verdict (Part 1): Harassment & Attack at New Haven Unified
Manage episode 507845791 series 3461956
In this first part of our After Action Review with Megan Burns and Emily Dahm of Mirador Law, we dive into their journey from public defense to plaintiff’s work and explore how they secured a $9.57 million verdict in a high-stakes bullying case against the New Haven Unified School District. Megan and Emily share how their trial backgrounds shaped their litigation style, the unique challenges of handling both criminal and civil practices, and why they believe trial experience is becoming too rare. They also set the stage for the incident at the heart of the case, walking us through the bullying, the violent parking lot attack, and the school district’s failed defense. This episode highlights lessons on trial strategy, staying in your lane versus taking on new ground, and the importance of calling in subject matter experts.
