Referral wanted: Reverse Discrimination Lawyer

I am looking for a good lawyer, preferably in the Atlanta area, and possibly
some good advice.

I have a friend who was unjustly flunked out of nursing school although she
had straight A's in all classes for the past two years. She was flunked out
of a clinical experience by a incompetent teacher who is well known for a
history of educational system abuses. The teacher has been fired in the past
for these problems but sued to get her job back and won. Now she has the
system and her students at her mercy with everyone scared to confront her.

There are factual errors which can be proved in the evaluation leading to
the failure as well as extenuating circumstances which extenuate the
psychological and emotional damage which her actions have caused. My friend
is now seeing a psychiatrist and therapist.

This happened Friday, May 13th,
and the school has given her 3 days to respond with a detailed appeal. It
seems unreasonable to require her to appeal under duress. There are many
more details concerning the case but basically, I am looking for a lawyer
who would be willing to file a suit against the teacher and/or the school
for destroying my friends career unjustly, causing her greivous
psychological and emotional damage and duress with false accusations, and
using discriminatory grading practices against white females. We believe we
can prove a pattern of discriminatory behavior.

1) Has anyone successfully appealed a nursing school clinical failure by
working within the school system?

2) Does anyone know of a good lawyer to contact regarding this situation?
We are looking for someone who would be willing to work on contingency as
my friend is currently a full-time student working part-time.

3) Any ideas on potential damages? The only thing standing between my friend
and a nursing career are the careless and negligent actions of this teacher.

Please respond via e-mail to sjledet@netcom.com
