CHICAGO – On Tuesday, July 18, Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard, P.C. and co-counsels The Stinar Law Firm and Pulaski Kherker PLLC, filed a lawsuit on behalf of a former Northwestern University football player related to allegations of hazing and sexual abuse in the University’s football program. The lawsuit is the first of many cases expected to be filed in the fallout stemming from an article from the student newspaper The Daily Northwestern detailing hazing-related activities inside the locker room.
On Wednesday, July 19, attorneys Patrick A. Salvi II and Parker Stinar held a press conference to discuss their cases against the University and next steps in the legal process. The news was covered by a number of local and national media outlets:
