|Speakers
Jane M. Williams of Sweet, Stevens, Katz & Williams was a featured presenter at the 59th annual convention of the Pennsylvania Council for Exceptional Children, themed “What Is So Special About Special Education?”
The event took place Oct. 4 and 5 at the Best Western Premier Central Hotel & Conference Center in Harrisburg.
Williams delivered a program titled “10 Top Ways to Avoid Litigation,” discussing what school districts should do—and not do—to avoid due process litigation.
The session touched on the types of procedural and substantive omissions that can be a catalyst to litigation, the pitfalls to avoid, and the more subtle yet powerful intercommunication skills to use.
Williams, a partner with Sweet Stevens, represents school entities in special education and student matters. She provides both proactive and defensive representation in all phases of special education litigation.
