DGS lawyers represented ten American school teachers who were savagely attacked in West Papua, Indonesia, during 2002 in what the U.S. State Department referred to as: “an outrageous act of terrorism.”  Two of the teachers were murdered, and the rest were injured in the ambush.  The representation was multi-faceted and involved legal, political and foreign policy issues all related to the Teacher Group’s search for justice (including identification and prosecution of those who perpetrated the attack as well as securing adequate compensation and medical care for the survivors).  DGS attorneys formed a multi-disciplinary team with international and personal injury expertise to represent the clients.  The matter was high profile and received wide-spread national and international media coverage.  Certain portions of the representation are ongoing and other matters have been confidentially concluded.
