Widener Law School Settles Lawsuit Filed by Professor Lawrence Connell

I saw this at William Jacobson's yesterday morning, "Widener Law settles with Prof. Lawrence Connell."

 I received the following statement from Connell’s attorney:

I am authorized today, February 8, 2012, to make the following announcement about my client professor Larry Connell’s pending lawsuit in the Delaware Superior Court against the Delaware Law School of Widener University, Dean Linda Ammons, and students Jennifer R. Perez and Nadege Tandoh.

“All claims amongst all parties have been resolved amicably and Professor Connell’s employment with the University and Law School has been concluded. Specific terms of the resolution are confidential. So, we have no further comment.”

Thank you.

Thomas S. Neuberger, Esq. Attorney for Professor Connell

I hope Connell received just compensation. He certainly deserved it. 

And at FIRE, "Widener Settles Lawsuit Filed by Law Professor who was Punished for Protected Speech":

While Connell may be prevented by the terms of the settlement from continuing to comment on Ammons' tyrannical behavior in this ordeal, FIRE faces no such restrictions. We will continue to make sure the public remembers the many wrongs committed by the Widener Law administration against Lawrence Connell. Prospective law school students should think twice (or more) before sending their applications to Widener.
