Another Law School Employment Case Gets Dismissed

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the deceptive employment statistics case brought against the John Marshall Law School in Chicago has been dismissed.  The track record for these types of suits has been dismal, with cases against Brooklyn, DePaul, and other schools getting dissed or dismissed at the pleading stage by skeptical judges.  Dean John Corkery is quoted as saying "The judge's ruling vindicates John Marshall's position that our reporting of post-graduate employment statistics did not violate the rights of any of our students."  The case was dismissed with prejudice.  The case against the Thomas Jefferson School of Law may have some merit due to allegations of cooking the stats by the school rather than reporting them straight up.  [MG]
