A report by Meghan Dorney in The Boston Pilot, the official newspaper of the Archdiocese of Boston, published 26 September 2003, on Suffolk Superior Court Judge Constance Sweeney's approval of the finalized 85 million dollar settlement, stating the 552 case count, the award range and the schedule for opting in and receiving payment.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
1
Reliability tier 1: the archdiocese's own official newspaper reporting the finalized terms of its own settlement, naming the presiding judge, the case count and the payment schedule directly rather than through a third party.
Notes
Tier 1: the archdiocese's own account of the finalized settlement, useful for the presiding judge's name and the payment schedule, cross checked against independent national coverage of the same negotiation.
