New York Supreme Court Judge Melvin L. Schweitzer dismissed a lawsuit lodged by nine graduates of New York Law School who accused the latter of misleading them about their employment prospects after graduation, reports the New York Times. The judge ruled that the suit had no merit and the case was essentially one of caveat emptor.
The decision is a setback for several similar lawsuits filed across the country. For the second consecutive year the number of law school entrance examinees has sharply declined, reflecting a view that legal market is sluggish. Most graduates of top law schools continue to get jobs, but those from less prestigious law schools are having a tough time finding employment.
