In a December 20, 2012 article, Law360 featured Venable’s latest victory on behalf of New York Law School in the dismissal of a putative class action suit brought by students and alumni of the school. The suit alleged that students and applicants relied on misleading information provided by the school, concerning its graduates’ employment and salaries, in making their decision to attend New York Law School. In March, a New York Supreme Court judge dismissed each of plaintiffs’ claims. On Thursday, a three-judge panel in a New York appeals court upheld the dismissal saying the school’s statements did not constitute false information.
Led by partner Michael Volpe, the Venable team also included Jim Shea, Ed O’Toole, Mike Hartmere, Megan Mann, Emily Tortora and Kaveri Arora.
