Partner Armen McOmber, Esq. and Associate Nicholas R. Carlson, Esq. have filed suit against Hillsborough Board of Education alleging that a student, Lilly Doyle, and certain other disabled students were humiliated and forced to leave the senior prom early because of their disabilities. Fortunately, New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination (“LAD”) provides redress for students with disabilities who are subjected to such treatment
“As alleged in the complaint, The Prom is a special evening for any high school student, and L.D. was more than excited to create lasting memories with her closest friends, many of whom also had intellectual disabilities. But what was supposed to be an evening they will always cherish, turned into a nightmare that will haunt Plaintiffs for the rest of their lives.” – Armen McOmber
