what is up with the doe-si-doe case (or cases) in chester county courts? why has no one in the mainstream media covered it?

Way back in August, 2023 I posted about an interesting legal case popping in Chester County involving a Radnor Commissioner named Jack Larkin who is a lawyer.

Someone asked me today whatever happened with that case? Honestly, I have no clue, I forgot about it, so I searched the dockets. There seem to be two cases on the dockets. One under Judge Deb Ryan and one under Judge Nicole Forzato:

So there above are the docket notes on the case(s), since it appears to be two separate things with two different judges?

Now interestingly enough when I first wrote about this I did not know what school was involved. It’s Liberty University in Virginia. When the original Title IX case was active it was big news on AP and in higher ed and in Virginia. It never really made the news here. I found that curious because it’s a Main Line lawyer who is a politician (Commissioner) in Radnor Township. Usually that is big news around here, right? But nope, oddly silent.

Also interesting? Radnor Township still hasn’t updated his bio to reflect where he actually works these days….and he switched jobs almost two years ago, so why rush?

Anyway, I only know the cases appear alive. His lawyers seem to be listed on the dockets. It’s seemingly a non-story here, but when the original Title IX popped it made news elsewhere. Below are the links to those articles.

Have a good evening.

radnor township commissioner named in litigation filed in chester county

THAT is quite the headline that appeared in the Legal Intelligencer this morning.

Gawthrop Greenwood Hit With Suit Alleging Lawyer Botched Plaintiffs’ Sexual Harassment Claims

“Threatening other plaintiffs that they would be lawyer-less if they did not settle,” the complaint said, “Larkin doggedly pressured plaintiffs to settle their claims, despite their express desire not to.”

I am kind of gobsmacked here. What University I wonder? He left a really good firm for a billboard company?

Here is Larkin’s LinkedIn:

Here is Larkin’s bio on Radnor Township’s website and if he has been with Catalyst as in yes that Catalyst the billboard company for over a year, why isn’t his Radnor Township politician/commissioner bio updated? He was formerly president of Radnor Commissioners, yes?

This is all very curious and very sad if true. This will be a get out the popcorn situation. And I have to tell you I was honestly surprised that Larkin left Gawthorp Greenwood for the billboard baron. Oh and you can look up the case in Chester County, but as of this afternoon sloppy prothonotary work meant a name misspelling.

Also again curious as to which University and are they local? OK People, I have absolutely nothing left to add except The School for Scandal is in Session in Radnor Township yet again…..
