For the next four weeks, Michael hobbled to class with the aid of crutches, carrying his books in a knapsack. He did eventually graduate with the rest of his peers and Ralph Nader was the featured speaker that day. He stayed in Isla Vista that summer prior to his entering the University of Santa Clara School of Law the following fall.
During that time, he enlisted the services of Marc and eventually a lawsuit was filed against the state of California, et.al. in October
of 1974.
