Law Schools Sued Over Job Placement Rates

Three laws schools are being accused of fraud by graduates who question the accuracy of the schools’ placement rates, according to a report in Inside Higher Ed. A New York City law firm recently filed class action lawsuits against New York Law School (in New York City) and Thomas Cooley Law School (Michigan), claiming that the job placement information they released to potential students was sufficiently inaccurate as to constitute fraud. A similar suit was filed earlier against the Thomas Jefferson School of Law (San Diego).
