Everyone loves to hate tort lawyers--until their lawsuits reveal hidden injustice and injury. The dark secret of the Catholic Church was the vast extent to which the institution tolerated sexual abuse of school children and young parishioners by clergy. It took aggressive plaintiffs' attorneys to shed light on the scandal. Albany Law School professor Timothy D. Lytton examines more than 20 years of litigation that rocked the church to its core in his well-received book published last year by Harvard University Press. A wine and cheese reception will be held at 6 PM with a book discussion and signing to follow.
Speaker:
TIMOTHY D. LYTTON, Professor and Author, Holding Bishops Accountable: How Lawsuits Helped the Catholic Church Confront Clergy Sexual Abuse (2008)
