Reporter Follows Up with Law Professor after Federal Ruling

TV reporter Tony Pipitone interviews NSU Professor Matthew Dietz at the Shepard Broad College of Law.

Investigative reporter Tony Pipitone has been following the story on lawsuits against the state that claimed it illegally kept children with complex medical needs in nursing homes.

The state was first sued over this issue in 2012 by a group of attorneys, including Matthew Dietz, the director of the Disability Inclusion and Advocacy Law Clinic at NSU’s Shepard Broad College of Law. Dietz was interviewed by Pipitone during his earlier coverage of this story and was interviewed again by Pipitone after a recent ruling by a federal judge said the state did break the law and has ordered changes. The interview was aired Wednesday on NBC Channel 6 South Florida.
