Litigation

Jose P. v. Mills

Jose P. v. Mills

Jose P. was filed by a group of New York City school children with disabilities over three decades ago to force the Department of Education to obey federal laws that require appropriate evaluation, placement and services be provided to all students with disabilities. In 1979, a judgment was issued directing a variety of relief measures. Numerous subsequent orders and so-ordered stipulations have been issued since 1979.

The case is filed in federal court for the Eastern District of New York. Co-counsel on the case are Roger Maldonado of Balber Pickard Battistoni Maldonado & Van Der Tuin, PC and Chip Gray, Esq. Along with co-counsel, AFC continues to monitor implementation of the Jose P. judgment and orders.
