They made sure to create male and female representations, honoring the rebel courage of former headmaster Edor Anderson, the 1970s Board of Trustees who bet the school’s future on co-education, Prep women of today and the Prep women of the future. The current Prep students are rebellious on many fronts.

  • The Advisor April 28 2014
    April 28, 2014 2014 Burton Award Winner TJSL Alumnus Robert M. Sagerian ‘13 is the 2014 Burton Award winner for Legal Achievement for his distinguished legal writing. “I’m really at a loss for words,” said Sagerian. “It's truly an honor and incredibly rewarding just to be considered for such a prestigious award. Advocating for those in need is my passion, my calling in the legal profession.” Sagerian was selected in the law student category for his note titled “A Penalty Flag for Preemption: The NFL Concussion Litigation, Tortious Fraud, and the Steel Curtain Defense of Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations act,” published in the Fall 2013, edition of the Thomas Jefferson Law Review. This year, the Burton Awards selection committee handed out 15 law student awards from among all of the nation’s law schools. Sagerian will be honored for his article at an awards ceremony and dinner at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., on June 9. “Robert joins a distinguished group of TJSL winners of this award,” said Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Linda Keller. “It is wonderful to see the accomplishments of our students recognized in this way.” The Burton Awards, now in its 15th year, was established by William C. Burton to promote and reward the refine- ment and enrichment of good legal writing and the achievement of legal reform. Winners are chosen by a committee consisting of educators from the law schools of Harvard University, Columbia University and Stanford University, as well as leading members of the legal profession and the judiciary.

Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly MARK GERAGOS, TINA GLANDIAN, and GERAGOS & GERAGOS LAW FIRM, Defendants. MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF THE DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SANCTIONS UNDER RULE 11 INTRODUCTION Plaintiffs have blatantly violated Fed. R. Civ. P. 11 by falsely asserting the source of an allegedly defamatory statement, by grossly mischaracterizing a defendant’s statements, and by pursuing a claim for respondeat superior that is not warranted by existing law. Plaintiffs attributed the statement about Plaintiffs’ bodybuilding techniques to Jussie Smollett’s lawyer, Tina Glandian, knowing that it was their own lawyer, Gloria Schmidt, who uttered it to the media.1 Also, in their zeal to drag a well-known lawyer into the case, Plaintiffs mischaracterized Mark Geragos’ statements, and their allegations against him are unfounded in fact. Finally, in an effort to dig into the pockets of Ms. Glandian’s law firm with their frivolous lawsuit, Plaintiffs filed an improper separate claim for respondeat superior. Unfortunately for Plaintiffs, the Illinois Supreme Court and this Court have determined that respondeat superior is not a separate cause of action. Defendants seek an order dismissing Plaintiffs’ baseless claims with prejudice and 1 Ms. Schmidt represents Plaintiffs in this matter. Case: 1:19-cv-02727 Document #: 28 Filed: 07/19/19 Page 2 of 9 PageID #:335 requiring Plaintiffs and their counsel to pay Defendants’ reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in bringing this motion.

Unfortunately, this power can be abused, particularly to the detriment of the constitutional rights of individuals on trial for criminal offences. Members of the 24-hour news cycle have learned that criminal law is of great intrigue to the general public, and any information related to it, irrespective of reliability, is good for ratings. In Mistrial: An Inside Look at How the Criminal Justice System Works… and Sometimes Doesn’t, prominent American (celebrity) criminal lawyers Mark Geragos and Pat Harris tell something of a cautionary tale, using their book as a platform to inform the public about the dangers of media involvement in criminal cases.
