Kevin Conway, one of the three partners in the Boston law firm that represented the Woburn, Massachusetts, families in their lawsuit against W.R. Grace and Beatrice Foods, the suit that formed the basis for the movie A Civil Action, will be speaking at New Hampshire College on Tuesday, February 9 at 11 a.m. The Civil Action case involved a lawsuit by a number of Woburn families against two Woburn companies, W.R. Grace and Beatrice Foods, who they accused of contaminating municipal water wells, which was thought to have contributed to a series of deaths in that town. The story became the basis of the 1995 book A Civil Action by Jonathan Harr, and a recently released Hollywood movie starring John Travolta. Conway's presentation will be held in the Mara Auditorium of the college's graduate school.
Admission is free and the public is invited.
