The National Law Journal reports, the former president of BAR/BRI who initiated a nationwide antitrust lawsuit against the publisher of a bar review course is joining three named plaintiffs in objecting to a recent settlement of the case. Stan Chess, now president of LawTV Inc., which operates Web sites such as www.LawSchool.com, is the fourth objector to a $49 million settlement filed with the courts on Feb. 2. Ryan Rodriguez v. West Publishing Corp., No. 05cv3222 (C.D. Calif.). The settlement resolves a class action against West Publishing, owner of BAR/BRI, and Kaplan Inc., which makes the preparatory coursework for the Law School Aptitude Test (LSAT). The lawsuit claims the two companies conspired to monopolize the law exam market and overcharged law students by $1,000 each. Plaintiffs sought triple an estimated $300 million in damages on behalf of nearly 300,000 law students who took the course from 1997 to 2006. With the settlement, each class member is expected to receive about $125. A federal judge is expected to approve a final settlement on June 18. In court papers filed in March, Chess called the settlement grossly inadequate. "It doesn't accomplish anything," he said, noting that "the amount of money is not consequential to the defendant or the class members. There aren't that many attorneys who will fill out forms for $125." Chess is the latest to object to the settlement. Three named plaintiffs have criticized the monetary relief as too low and the injunctive relief as inadequate, since the original lawsuit sought to break up BAR/BRI

To see the latest front in the war over illegal immigration, take a look at Mordechai Orian. The 41-year-old owns Global Horizons, a Los Angeles-based service that supplies seasonal agricultural workers to apple, blueberry, and
potato growers across the country. In May, Orian lost one of his biggest clients: Munger Bros., a Delano, Calif., blueberry farm, which decided to use a rival labor supplier, J&A Contracting of Bakersfield, Calif. Munger Bros. executives say they switched suppliers when Global Horizons failed to live up to its contract, but Orian suspects a different motive. J&A, he says, provides cheaper, illegal workers, scooping workers up on street corners by the vanload and delivering them to farms. He says he has evidence of falsified Social Security cards to prove his assertions. And rather than filing a complaint with the federal government, Orian is taking both Munger and J&A to court.

An Associated Press business report states that plaintiffs in Iowa's class-action antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft Corp. claim they have uncovered information that indicates the software company is violating its 2002 agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice. The alleged misconduct surrounds Microsoft's responsibility to share software APIs known as application programming interfaces, which let disparate programs work together. The Iowa plaintiffs' attorneys have alleged that Microsoft has not disclosed certain APIs to other software developers who want to make programs compatible with Microsoft software.

"We consider this a big victory for the fans," said Janet Abaray, a shareholder in the Cincinnati office of Burg Simpson who represented six fans who sued the Cincinnati Bengals.
The case stems from a brochure sent to fans in 1997 regarding club seats in the new stadium. The brochure explained that buyers would be required to buy a $150 seat license and pick a package that locked in seat prices for six, eight or 10 years. The brochure further explained that if a person didn't continue to buy tickets, the seat license would lapse and the $150 fee would be forfeited.
