What are Pete's Predictions in the Perez v. Sturgis Damages Case? On January 18, 2023, Pete and Pam Wright attended Oral Argument in the Perez v. Sturgis damages case. What is this case about? Who is likely to prevail?During the Oral Argument, Pete paid close attention to the Justices' nonverbal body language as questions were asked and answered. He made notes of the questions and of each Justice's nonverbal body language during the rapid-fire exchanges. Pete wanted to predict how each Justice was leaning -- pro-child or pro-school district. He wanted to know if Miguel Luna Perez had votes from enough Justices to prevail.You will find Pete's predictions at the end of this post: ... See MoreSee Less

On January 18, 2023, the Supreme Court heard Oral Argument in Perez v Sturgis Public Schools. What is this case about? Why does the case matter? Who is likely to prevail?
Oral Argument before the Supreme Court in Perez v. Sturgis Public Schools (01/19/23)On Thursday morning, Pete and Pam Wright went to the Supreme Court for oral argument in Perez v. Sturgis. Pete took notes about justices who seemed to be pro-child v pro-school. From the questions by the justices and their body language, we felt oral argument went well. Six justices appeared sympathetic to Miguel, one appeared to favor the school, and two were unclear. When the decision is published, it will be interesting to see how accurate our estimate was.I'm writing an article about oral argument that should be published early next week. ... See MoreSee Less

* * Supreme Court to Decide Damages Case Brought by a (Former) Child with a Disability * *In October 2022, the Supreme Court agreed to hear an unusual case brought by Miguel Luna Perez, a 23-year-old deaf man who filed a lawsuit against his school district for compensatory damages under the Americans with Disabilities Act. This appears to be the first case brought by a former special ed student on his own behalf. Perez v. Sturgis is also unusual because it re-opens the issue of exhaustion of administrative remedies before filing a lawsuit in federal court. In 2017, SCOTUS issued a decision about exhaustion In Fry v. Napolean. Five years later, SCOTUS agrees to hear another exhaustion case . . . possibly to clear up lingering confusion around this issue? Link to https://www.wrightslaw.com/law/art/2022.perez.sturgis.scotus.htm which also includes links to pleadings and amicus briefs.* * * Oral argument in Perez v. Sturgis is scheduled forWednesday, January 18, 2023. Pete and Pam Wright plan to attend and will share their impressions. ... See MoreSee Less
