Jamie Nabozny, advocate for fighting bullying, to speak at U

He was attacked throughout his young life at school because he was gay, but Jamie Nabozny didn’t let the abuse ruin his life. He fought back. Nabozny will tell his story Monday, April 16, 12:15 p.m., at the S. J. Quinney College of Law’s Sutherland Moot Courtroom in an event sponsored by the Outlaws student group.

Nabozny grew up in a small Wisconsin town and was bullied for being gay, but later won a landmark federal lawsuit against his school administrators for failing to stop the harassment.

In his address, Nabozny will discuss being a consumer of law and address topics such as when to file a lawsuit and what it is like to testify in federal court. There also will be a question-and-answer session, and lunch will be provided to attendees.
