Update on Williams v. Smith, U of M:  I just got off the phone with University of Minnesota General Counsel Mark Rotenberg, whom I could not reach yesterday before Minnesota Lawyer went to press.  I told him that the plaintiffs were considering filing a petition for rehearing.  He responded, “The university will of course respond to any petition for additional review. The Supreme Court ruled as a matter of law, not as a matter of fact, that the plaintiff cannot recover against the university on his claim.”
