"Name that Video Contest" - Win a PDA
We
are excited about progress on our next project, a video of the Stephen
Jeffers v. School Board special education due process
hearing. We need a snappy, descriptive title for this film so we decided
to ask our subscribers for help.
The winner of the "Name that Video Contest" will receive a Palm or Sony PDA (Value: Up to $200), a copy of the video / DVD, and autographed copies of our three books. (Details below)
Background
Hours of exciting direct examination, dramatic cross-examination, arguments between counsel, and objections to hearsay and leading questions ended up on the cutting room floor.
We now have a polished film - a two-hour video documentary of a special education due process hearing. Stephen Jeffers v. School Board takes you through a due process hearing, from initial preparation to testimony by the final witness.
The Virginia Legal Advocacy Center, V.A.V.S., Wrightslaw, and Harbor House Law Press joined forces to create this film.
The cast includes:
-
Darrel Tillar Mason, Esq. Former member of the Virginia Board of Education and hearing officer
-
Kathleen S. Mehfoud, Esq. Nationally known school board attorney
-
Peter W. D. Wright, Esq. Parent attorney
Learn more about the video, read a synopsis of the story, and see images from the film.
The filming and editing are completed. We need to make decisions about the title, format, design, and pricing. We are asking for your help with the title and format.
