The Los Angeles Times reported that a trial at San Diego’s Thomas Jefferson School of Law is the first of 15 cases in a “national discussion over how law schools have marketed themselves” to determine whether law schools “overstated the success of its graduates.” LA Times wrote that this suit and others have been filed by students who enrolled “after being enticed by their schools’ records of producing graduates who found quality jobs in the legal field.” So far, all judges in these cases “denied class-action status for the lawsuits,” but the judge over the San Diego case did allow one case to continue as a civil suit.
