BR Judge Seals Settlement

The Advocate reports a bizarre story concerning a dispute among board members of the Special Children's Foundation, Inc. The suit, filed by one board member, alleged that the board chairman "had unilaterally shifted the philanthropic focus of [the charity] from helping mentally retarded adults to getting a building named after himself at LSU." 19th JDC Judge Janice Clark sealed the settlement, which apparently requires the Special Children's Foundation to donate almost $500,000 to five charities.
