New Filing in Winkelman

On Friday, the we filed the attached Amicus Brief of The Ohio Coalition for the Education of Children With Disabilities and the Autism Society of Ohio in the case of Winkelman v. Parma City School District (05-983), which is set for argument on Tuesday, February 27. Tom Goldstein is counsel of record, and those who had a substantial part in the drafting of the brief include Brian Love, Melanie Wachtell, and Jameson Jones of the Stanford Supreme Court Litigation Clinic and Eric Zagrans of Zagrans Guffey.

The question presented is:

Whether, and if so, under what circumstances, nonlawyer parents of a disabled child may prosecute an Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1400 et seq., case pro se in federal court.

The cert. filings in this case were collected in this post.
