United States Third Circuit
Harnish v. Widener University School of Law, 15-3888
In a suit alleging that a law school defrauded a putative class of law students by publishing misleading statistics about its graduates' employment, which caused the students to pay 'inflated' tuition, the District Court's judgment, that plaintiffs failed to meet the requirement in Rule 23(b)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that common questions predominate over individual questions in order for a class to be certified, is affirmed where although the District Court labored under a few misconceptions about the plaintiffs' theory of the case, the errors were harmless and the court ultimately reached the correct result.
