The class-action lawsuit against West Publishing Company's Bar/Bri Bar Review and The Washington Post Company's Kaplan, Inc., has been expanded to include additional plaintiffs and additional allegations of unlawful activity. Among the new claims are:
1. that Bar/Bri secretly paid a law school to close down its bar review course, thereby giving Bar/Bri a monopoly in which Bar/Bri immediately doubled the price charged law students, 2. that Bar/Bri secretly paid Kaplan more than $500,000 a year to stay out of the bar review business, and 3. that Bar/Bri paid "consulting fees" to certain law school administrators in exchange for preferential treatment at their law schools.

Dear Idiot,
A vast majority of law students will not be making $150,000 a year when they graduate. And not all attorneys will "rip off" their clients. In fact, many law graduates have to finance their taking of the bar exam and the BarBri course without assistance from their firms. Additionally, many of them will graduate with substantial student loans. So the last thing needed is yet another parasite sucking the money out of us unneccessarily and illegally.
