Mass lacrosse lawsuit against Duke
Posted February 20th, 2008 at 4:57 PM by Jon HamThirty-eight current and former Duke lacrosse players are filing suit against Duke University, according to an email I just got from the Robert H. Bork Jr. PR firm.
The parents of the players will formally announce the suit tomorrow at 1 p.m. at the National Press Club:
Charles J. Cooper, attorney for the players will explain the complaint and answer questions from the media.
Only credentialed media will be allowed.
Media who are unable to be present at the news conference may call (888) 882-0114 to hear audio from the event and ask questions during the Q&A.
The complaint and other materials will be available Thursday at www.dukelawsuit.com. Video from the news conference will be available Thursday evening.
For more information, please contact Bob Bork at 703-821-8008 or at dukelawsuit@gmail.com.

Any details as to what their specific claim(s) is/are/will be?
Let’s hope that they don’t settle this out of court. Duke has skated so far on this whole mess and none of their dirty laundry has been aired publicly. It’s time for someone to hold their feet to the fire and send a message that institutional abuse of due process and “reverse” racism/elitism won’t be tolerated anymore.

Wow. Looks like they are going after practically everyone at Duke University and the City of Durham, aside from Mangum (who was really just a pawn in all of this — her claims were false, but TPTB ignored that) and Nifong (whose bankruptcy proceedings apparently make him not worth pursuing by this group of plaintiffs).
This is gonna cost Duke big time.
