Hani A. Habbas was published in Orange County Lawyer Magazine, exploring one of the most under litigated areas of civil rights law: harm to disabled students in California public schools. The article examines school district liability, mandatory reporting failures, and the disability discrimination claims that arise when vulnerable children, many of them nonverbal, are harmed by the very staff entrusted to protect them. A resource for attorneys, advocates, and families navigating these cases.
