The Crusaders, represented by attorney Leo Fama, appeared before Justice Janice Howe of the Essex Superior Court on Monday afternoon in Lawrence. It took over three days for Howe to announce her decision.“The MIAA is a voluntary member organization,” Howe wrote in her disposition. “For it to be effective in carrying out its purposes, its member schools agree to comply with MIAA rules.”Bishop Fenwick received the first e...
