| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00  | Student files $5M suit against her own law prof June 26, 2001 -- A law student is taking her professor to school - suing him for pulling a chair out from under her as a demonstration in a class on personal injury lawsuits. Denise DiFede, 30, charges Pace University Law prof Gary Munneke caused her "severe pain and mental anguish" when he pulled the stunt. She claims he embarrassed her and threw her already bad back completely out of wack. "It's just bizarre," said DiFede's lawyer, Susan Dennehy, who filed the lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court. The incident happened at Pace's White Plains campus last August, during DiFede's first week of law school, Dennehy said. Munneke was teaching a "torts" class, discussing Garrett vs. Daley - a case about a child who injured another kid when he pulled out a chair from under him. The professor - author of "How to Succeed in Law School" - called DiFede up to the front of the class and pointed out a chair, Dennehy said. "He asked her to sit down, and as she was sitting down, he pulled the chair out," she said. Her skirt went flying up and she fell to the ground with a painful thud. "It was humiliating," Dennehy said. "There she was in front of all of her peers with her dress up around her waist and injured." DiFede left the school and never went back. Munneke didn't return calls from The Post and a spokeswoman for Pace said the school hadn't seen the suit and refused comment. Dennehy said the professor may have singled DiFede out because she had confessed to him she was too busy to read the day's homework. "She sent the teacher an e-mail saying she was working and that she wouldn't be able to read the assignment," Dennehy said. "He knew she had not read the case." Of all the students in the class, she added, Munneke chose to pick on an attractive young woman. Dennehy said her client, who works as a financial analyst, was badly injured because she has an "eggshell" body and had undergone a back operation shortly before her fall. "She'd just finished her physical therapy before going to school," the lawyer said. The suit says the Westchester resident "was caused to sustain severe and permanent personal injuries" and required medical care. "It was a pretty devastating experience," she said. The suit seeks monetary damages against Munneke and the school for battery, negligence, pain and suffering. This message was edited by TeenWeek on 6-28-01 @ 10:23 AM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | This has got to be the stupidest thing I have heard in a long while!!! I can't believe that someone can sue for being part of a classroom demonstration...what is next, being able to sue a person because they looked at you funny? Or that your teacher gave you an F on a paper and wrote it in large red letters??? AIM: SkiT4you First Member of the JWO | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | Believe it or not I'd do the same thing. He obviously was trying to make a point to this girl for not reading the assigned cases. 5 mill maybe a bit much, but that is just a starting point. She deserves something.  | ||||
