Re: Just passed the NY bar.. taking questions.

I am involved in a Class Action lawsuit alleging antitrust violations by barbri that make the courses much more expensive, and substantively worse (outdated materials, etc.), because of numerous outright illegal actions taken by barbri to become a dominant monopoly. The Class will be comprised of everyone who took a barbri course in 2007 or thereafter. Am I right that that would include you?

If so, I wanted to ask you, first and foremost: how did you feel about the course? Lots of people have lots of complaints, e.g. "I didn't even get my practice essays back until after the exam!", etc. I found you through your facebook group all about paying $3000 for a barbri ipod, which I thought might indicate that you're a little disgruntled about the experience in general, especially if you paid for it yourself.

Also, if it so happens that you failed the bar, you might be interested to know that passage rates are down dramatically all around the country since barbri's illegal anti-competitive behavior started, based on the failure of barbri to improve (or even just update!) their product like they would HAVE to do if they still had any legitimate competition in the market.

I don't know if you took antitrust in law school, but if you did, then I don't need to tell you about the principles involved here... or about the automatic trebling of damages in most antitrust actions.

I'm eager to pick your brain about this... don't worry, I'll be gentle.
