Name that Video Contest - We Need Your Help!

On May 6, we sent an announcement for the Name That Video Contest. We received more than 1,500 titles in 24 hours!

After we pared these down to 15 titles (below), we can't decide which title we like best. We need your help.


The Story

Stephen Jeffers v. School Board is a two-hour documentary that takes you through a special education due process hearing, from initial preparation to testimony by the final witness.

You see exciting direct examination, dramatic cross-examination, arguments between counsel, and objections to hearsay and leading questions.

The cast includes:

  • Darrel Tillar Mason, Esq. Attorney and former hearing officer
  • Kathleen S. Mehfoud, Esq. Nationally known school board attorney
  • Peter W. D. Wright, Esq. Parent attorney

The Titles

We are looking for a good descriptive title - a title that will stimulate interest and tell people what the film is about.
