2-hr. hearing in latest of @BrownUniversity acc'd student lawsuits just concluded, addressing univ's motion for summary judgment. Tough questions from Judge McConnell for acc'd student's lawyer, Susan Kaplan, on both racial discrimination & TIX claims.
By contrast, Judge McConnell had only a couple of Qs, both mild, for Brown's lawyer, @StevenMRichard. Sense from the hearing that this decision will likely be a victory for Brown.
And kudos to @USDC_RI for setting up an easy-access Zoom hearing that allowed the argument to be easily followed.
On specific counts, Judge McConnell seemed most intrigued w/IIED claim. On others, repeatedly noted that acc'd student seemed to have accepted Brown's decisions at the time; and Qs implied that he saw racial discrimination claims as speculative only.
