Stanford Plaintiffs' Law Association alums and students gathered in sunny San Diego to honor Professor Nora Freeman Engstrom, Professor David Freeman Engstrom, alum Garrett Wen and their co-authors on winning the NCJI Civil Justice Scholarship Award. The paper, "Shedding Light on Secret ...Settlements: An Empirical Study of California's STAND Act," demonstrates that banning NDAs in sexual harassment and sexual assault cases did not reduce case filings or prolong their resolution, bucking conventional wisdom that cases won't settle without secrecy.
The reception was part of the American Association of Justice's Winter Convention, which Stanford Law sponsors students to attend. Beyond celebrating with their professors and mentors, students met inspiring attorneys from across the country, learned tips and tricks for trial advocacy and soaked up the sun.
