  Rep Matters: University Successfully Defended in Graduate Student's Dismissal Lawsuit
  Halloran & Sage recently received a defendants' verdict in an action filed by a former student of a private university's graduate medical program. The student had nearly completed his four years of study
  clinical practice when, about a month before graduation, the school learned he was convicted of a felony involving fraud. After a disciplinary hearing in accordance with the Student H
  book, the university ultimately dismissed him from the school only days before graduation. After his dismissal, he filed a lawsuit against the university
  individual faculty members claiming breach of an educational contract, breach of an implied contract, detrimental reliance, unjust enrichment, negligent misrepresentation, intentional
  negligent infliction of emotional distress,
  a violation of CUTPA. Prior to trial Halloran & Sage obtained summary judgment on the claims for intentional
  negligent infliction of emotional distress. Lead trial attorneys Stephen P. Fogerty
  Jennifer Pedevillano were assisted by Daniel Krisch, Dan LaBelle, Logan Carducci
  Chelsea Choi throughout the case. Duncan Forsyth was the lead contact partner for the university's insurance company. Halloran & Sage attorneys worked closely with in-house counsel to ensure the university's interest would be protected in this case
  position the university for success in future dismissal matters as well.
