Attorneys for the family of Joe Paterno and Penn State University are set to argue today whether Pepper Hamilton should be forced to turn over documents related to the creation of the Freeh report.
The Centre County Court of Common Pleas is expected to hold oral arguments in Paterno v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, with issues set to focus on whether the plaintiffs should be able to subpoena Pepper Hamilton for documents created by Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan, which merged with Pepper Hamilton in September 2012. The firm was retained by Penn State in 2011 to investigate the allegations of sexual abuse at the hands of Jerry Sandusky and the university’s alleged failure to report the abuse.
