Congratulations to QU Law alumnae Emily Kaas-Mansfield '16 and Kara Moreau '16 on their recent victory in the Connecticut Supreme Court.

In State v. Tatum, Kara and Emily, supported by briefs from Lisa Steele (on behalf of CCDLA) and Bob Meredith (on behalf of the Innocence Project), successfully convinced the Court to apply the rule from State v. Dickson retroactively. This decision grants a new habeas trial for their client, who was convicted 30 years ago. Both Kara and Emily are Associate Attorneys at Jacobs & Dow, LLC.

Kara coaches QU Law's Mock Trial Team and taught Trial Practice this past spring. Emily coaches QU Law's Society for Dispute Resolution (SDR) Team and teaches Foundations of Practice. Together, they form a powerhouse team. QU Law is proud of you both!

What do pedestrians need to know after getting hit by a motor vehicle?

A Far Too Common Occurrence Cars: a danger to pedestrians everywhere.

"I saw him do it" can be enough to send someone to prison. But eyewitness testimony can present a host of problems, particularly when the witness comes forward and says it for the very first time during the trial. As a result, the Connecticut Supreme Court has found that this type of first time, in court identification should not be permitted. Thanks to the efforts of our lawyers, Kara Moreau and Emily Kaas-Mansfield, the Court has now recognized that these types of eyewitness convictions can be challenged, even if they happened many years ago.

We congratulate Kara and Emily on this tremendous victory!
