A court has just shot down an appeal from a group of law school graduates who sued their alma mater for allegedly misleading them about their post-graduation job prospects.
Nine New York Law School grads sued their former school in 2011, claiming it knowingly inflated job data, which gave them unrealistic job expectations. The $200 million suit sought class action status on behalf of all students who graduated from the school since 2009.
Last year, the Manhattan Supreme Court dismissed the suit, and an appeals court unanimously affirmed the decision. But the students didn't give up, and they appealed to the New York Court of Appeals. That court declined to hear the appeal yesterday without explanation. Just one judge dissented and voted to hear the case.
