Law Graduate Sues School After Huge Debt and Failing to Get a Job

After borrowing $100,000 to get her law degree at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, Anna Alaburda still couldn’t find a job as an attorney three years after graduating. So she sued the school for fraud. The law school reported that 80% of its recent graduates found jobs within nine months. But Alaburda claims the school inflated the number of its students who found jobs after graduating since not all reported jobs are law-related. Judge Joel Pressman allowed the case to go to trial and agreed that the employment figure is “meaningless in the context of a legal education.” (cnn.com)
