Great synopsis of Alison Collins’ lawsuit. I think her lawyers probably failed her though. Here she was writing manifestos and her lawyers turned them into sloppy motions riddled with errors, which you can see if you compare her declaration (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.376010/gov.uscourts.cand.376010.23.1.pdf) to the motion (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.376010/gov.uscourts.cand.376010.23.0.pdf):

Collins’ declaration: she’s “the only Black SFUSD parent who has children currently enrolled in the district” (notice all the qualifiers)

Bonner’s motion: she’s “the only Black person on the Board”

Collins’ declaration: Jenny Lam and Faauuga Moliga “conspired” (with each other) and “adopted and endorsed Lowell alumna, Diane Yap’s views”

Bonner’s motion: Jenny Lam and Faauuga Moliga “colluded with and conspired with Diane Yap”

Bonner also dated the notice to dismiss two days ago August 7, 2021 when it really was September 7 https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.376010/gov.uscourts.cand.376010.47.0_1.pdf.

Would the result be different if she had more careful (and strategic) lawyers?
