Settlement is reached in Bryant case New York Times March 3, 2005 -- A civil lawsuit against the Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant brought by a woman who said he raped her in a Colorado hotel quietly folded with a one-paragraph declaration that the parties had reached a settlement. The final combination at the end of the case — dropped charges, a public apology, and now the out-of-court settlement of the civil case — struck some scholars as a rough approximation of justice, however inconclusive it might seem under the strict parameters of the law or public resolution of the issues. ''Criminal justice can only bring a certain kind of closure to a matter,'' said Peter A. Joy, a professor at the Washington University school of law in St. Louis. ''There's another kind of closure that costs money in our society.''

Joy is the recipient of the 2001 Association of American Law Schools (AALS) Pincus Award, which is presented annually to honor one or more individuals or institutions for effecting an outstanding contribution to the cause of clinical legal education. He is presently President-Elect for the Clinical Legal Education Association, and he is a former Chair of the Section on Clinical Legal Education for the AALS. Joy also serves as a Program Director at Large for the National Institute of Trial Advocacy (NITA), and he is the former Program Director for NITA's Great Lakes Deposition Program.
