Judge hopes to wrap up Clarett case by Feb. 1
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Lawyers for Maurice Clarett and the NFL met in New York on Tuesday, with the judge saying he hoped to rule by Feb. 1 on the suspended Ohio State tailback's lawsuit against the league.
Clarett is challenging the NFL's rule that a player must be out of high school three years to be eligible for the draft.
Clarett's attorney, Alan C. Milstein, said Tuesday the two sides set a timeline for legal briefs to be filed during a conference with the judge in open court.
The attorneys for Clarett will file their briefs by Oct. 27, with the NFL answering by Nov. 21. Clarett's lawyers will then reply to the NFL by Dec. 10, Milstein said.
