Well of course not.

I think the lawsuits may have some merit in that Tier 4 schools, including mine, publish quite a bit of misinformation about their employment statistics in that to the school, you are considered employed after law school whether you are an associate in a top firm or whether you are a barrista at the Starbuck's on the first floor of the building where that other graduate works.

I still don't think the suits have much merit. The information about law school being a gamble if you don't have a plan is definitely out there. Law students tend to be pretty sophisticated people. Expecting to make $150K upon graduation from a Tier 4 school (unless nepotism is involved or you're some kind of prodigy) is just not realistic.
