Doe v. Town of Weston, SJC-10981 (sua sponte), amicus curiae for CLE and Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race & Justice, Harvard Law School, Joanne S. Karger, Kathleen B. Boundy

 
This brief argues that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying deference to Weston’s decision to expel Doe under M.G.L. c. 71, § 37H because Weston lacked adequate evidentiary basis to support the expulsion decision. The 30-page brief provides advocates for students with an extensive review of due process rights of students and the importance of weighing the Mathews v. Eldridge factors.
