Represented a board of education against discrimination and tort claims brought by an employee of the company that provided bus services to the board. Obtained summary judgment on the board’s behalf, with the court finding that the board acted within its contractual rights when it asked that the driver be removed from her assigned routes, and that there was no evidentiary basis for the alleged tort claims. The employee appealed to the Appellate Court, where we successfully defended the trial court’s ruling and obtained a full affirmance of the dismissal.
