Dive Brief:
- A lawsuit alleging Drake University tried to stop a student training a service dog from being in classes can proceed, an Iowa court has ruled.
- Nicole Shumate, a Des Moines service dog trainer, sued in 2011, alleging law school officials tried to keep her from bringing dogs in training to classes while she was a student.
- The court’s decision puts the case back in the hands of a trial judge.
Dive Insight:
It seems like a school might want to be extra cautious with the rights of law students so they don't get, you know, sued. (Check out the link for a photo of owners gathered with their service dogs outside of court after oral arguments back in September.)
