How have courts dealt with fraud claims against an unaccredited law school?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Sabadia v. Holland & Knight LLP, B242773 (Cal. App. 2018):

an injurious course of action, but the pertinent misrepresentation lacks an appropriate causal connection to the injury claimed as damages. In Goehring v. Chapman University (2004) 121 Cal.App.4th 353, 359-363, an unaccredited law school falsely told applicants that they would be exempt from a first-year examination requirement imposed on the students in unaccredited law schools. (Id. at p. 359.) A student admitted to the school and later dismissed for low grades asserted fraud claims against the school, alleging that its misrepresentations induced him to study at the school. (Id. at p. 364.) Affirming summary judgment in the school's favor on the claims, the appellate court concluded that the student failed to show that his claimed damages were attributable to the misrepresentations upon which he relied, rather than his dismissal for low grades. (Id. at pp. 364-365.)
