On October 27, 2016, Attorney Lillian Wong and Attorney Eileen Haggerty, a partner at Kotin, Crabtree and Strong, LLP in Boston, will present to the Massachusetts Coalition to Defend Special Education. The Coalition is a major initiative of the Massachusetts Advocates for Children (“MAC”) and is comprised of over 400 parents of children with disabilities, advocates, and special education attorneys in the public and private sector.
Attorneys Haggerty and Wong will examine the role of discovery in Bureau of Special Education Appeals (“BSEA”) disputes and provide practical insights about how to leverage the discovery process to achieve the best outcome for students with disabilities while simultaneously controlling the cost of litigation. Attorney Wong will also discuss a recent BSEA ruling where she successfully advocated for the discoverability of text messages.
