More than a decade ago, Roderick “Eric” MacLeish Jr. suffered a personal crisis and retreated from his career after representing victims of clergy sex abuse in a landmark $85 million settlement with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston.

Not only that, he’s thrown himself into another high-profile battle over alleged childhood sexual abuse by former faculty members and students at an elite private boarding school, although litigation has yet to be filed.
