Graduate sues law school for fraud
The Thomas Jefferson School of Law, in California, is going to trial today (March 7) for allegedly defrauding its students by manipulating data, inflating numbers, and counting some graduates as “employed” when they weren’t.A former law student, who graduated at the top of her class, is suing her former school, as she has yet to find a full-time salaried job as a lawyer.
A report via the washingtonpost notes Anna Alaburda at the time of choosing to enroll at Thomas Jefferson having applied to a number of law schools with the San Diego school the only college accepting the woman who at the time had received a degree from New York University the year before.
She now has student debt of $170,000, with loan interest around 8 percent.
Graduates of law schools filed more than a dozen proposed class-action lawsuits in 2011 and 2012 alone, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The law school claims in court documents that Alaburda did very little research before enrolling at Thomas Jefferson, and is therefore responsible for her own false assumptions. This is because, she said, the job was less favourable than other non-law roles that were available at the time.

To go to any Private College these days means that you have enormous debt. Even the Public Colleges are going to put you into debt that starting out you won't be able to handle without extreme difficulty. We have a desperate need for Lawyers who can devote time to Public Service....and yet, they can't afford it. We lose good people who could serve the People instead of the Corporations because of the overwhelming expense. And, yes it applies to Medical School these days, also. It's always been bad for Doctors but it has spread to every profession these days as to what it costs and what one has to give up, in hopes and dreams, because of that overwhelming debt.
Although I understand what you say and thanks for posting your view. Its a problem that needs to be addressed. Bernie is trying to deal with some of it.
