Denny v. Niobrara Public Schools
A reminder to local teachers and administrators: students have rights.
We’re representing Lorenzo Denny, a student who was assaulted by a teacher while he was at a dance at Niobrara High School.
The ACLU of Nebraska undertakes litigation when doing so is the most effective way to advance a civil liberties concern. We file lawsuits that will have an impact on people’s rights by setting a legal precedent or affecting the policies and actions of public officials. We both provide direct legal representation to people and file amicus (friend-of-the-court) briefs addressing civil liberties issues in cases initiated by others. All of the ACLU’s legal work is on a pro bono basis; we never charge for our legal services. You can learn about requesting legal assistance here.
