BAR/BRI Publisher Socked With Another Class Action

A lawyer who objected to a recent $49 million settlement with the makers of the BAR/BRI bar review course has announced the filing of a $48 million class action on behalf of tens of thousands of consumers who were overcharged when purchasing BAR/BRI materials in preparation for the New York bar exam. The allegations in the suit are similar to those in an antitrust case in California against the same defendants -- namely, that the students were overcharged by $1,000 each, on average.
