Milbank LLP’s successful class action lawsuit against the New York City Department of Education for failing to fix its broken system for implementing special education hearing orders is discussed in a recent Law360 Pulse article, “How Milbank and a Nonprofit Fought for NY Special Ed.”
Advocates for Children of New York (AFC) and Milbank filed the lawsuit in 2003, alleging that, after parents of children with disabilities received favorable orders in special education administrative hearings, the Department of Education was failing to implement the ordered remedies.
The Milbank team was led by partner Atara Miller and associates Jasper Perkins and Jeremy Wertz, and has included many other Milbank attorneys dating back to the beginning of the litigation.
