April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.

May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.

Catholic Church & Catholic Schools

In 2020, the Catholic dioceses of Newark, Paterson, Trenton, and Metuchen agreed to pay $87.5 million to more than 300 survivors of clergy sexual abuse, including Catholic schools operated by the diocese. Individual payouts ranging from hundreds of thousands to several million dollars depending on the severity and duration of the abuse.

In 2016, the Delbarton School, a Benedictine boarding school in Morristown, faced multiple lawsuits alleging abuse by monks and teachers. By 2019, the school had settled at least 30 lawsuits, with settlement amounts confidential but widely reported in the seven-figure range for individual cases.

Private Schools

Private day schools have faced lawsuits over teacher and staff misconduct. While many settlements remain confidential, payouts have reached into the millions of dollars, especially where administrators failed to remove repeat offenders.

Public Schools

New Jersey public school districts have been held liable in several high-profile cases. In 2012, Plainfield Public Schools settled claims for $2.75 million after a teacher abused multiple students. Other districts have also reached six-and seven-figure settlements to resolve survivor lawsuits.

Were You Treated Unfairly Because of Who You Are?

If you or your child have experienced discrimination, harassment, or retaliation in a K–12 school or college, you may have rights under Title IX, a federal civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in education programs that receive federal funding. This can include:

Discrimination can be subtle or obvious—but either way, you do not have to face it alone. Our Title IX team can review what happened, explain your options, and help you take the next step.

Title IX generally prohibits discrimination “on the basis of sex” in education. That can include:

Students in public or private K–12 schools

College or university students

School or university employees (teachers, staff, coaches, administrators, graduate assistants, etc.)

What Is Title IX Discrimination?

Sexual harassment or sexual assault by students, staff, or faculty

Hostile environment (repeated unwanted comments, jokes, or conduct about sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy, etc.)

Unequal treatment in academic programs, athletics, housing, or discipline because of sex or gender

Retaliation for reporting harassment, assault, or discrimination

Failure to accommodate pregnancy or related conditions

Disability-related discrimination tied to sex or gender issues (e.g., denying reasonable accommodations, ignoring IEP/504/BIP plans)

If any of this sounds familiar, you may have a potential Title IX or related civil rights claim. A confidential review can help you understand whether the school violated its legal obligations and what can be done now.
