Judge turns down BAR/BRI settlement
The National Law Journal reports that U.S. District Court Judge Manuel Real rejected a second settlement in the BAR/BRI antitrust litigation after objectors raised concerns that Kaplan Inc.s portion of the deal involved coupons.
The deal would have settled claims by class members alleging that Kaplan and West Publishing Corp. conspired to monopolize the market for bar review courses. West Publishing owns BAR/BRI, and Kaplan sells preparatory courses for the Law School Aptitude Test. Under the settlement, West would have paid $5.29 million in cash and Kaplan would have provided coupons worth $150 each toward the purchase of future course materials, the paper reports.
The class action has been fraught with difficulty, as the National Law Journal recounts.
