Undaunted by rebukes from a federal judge and a key D.C. councilman, Attorney General Peter Nickles announced Wednesday he was expanding his war against special education lawyers.

Nickles has sued several lawyers who he says are wasting taxpayers’ time and money with “frivolous” special education due process lawsuits. He added lawyer Fatmata Barrie to the list, accusing her of wasting resources with a due process complaint on behalf of an 8-year-old with a speech problem.
