Original BAR/BRI Attorney Files Suit Again
The litigation surrounding BAR/BRI is threatening to achieve Jarndyce and Jarndyce-like proportions. Eliot Disner, the attorney who filed the original class action suit against BAR/BRI that just settled, has regrouped following his dismissal from McGuireWoods and he's back again with a new lawsuit against BAR/BRI (more on Mr. Disner in this previous ZiefBrief post). According to an article on Law.com, Disner is seeking an injunction that would "open the market to competitors." The suit alleges that West Publishing's BAR/BRI has maintained its monopoly on bar review preparation by negotiating deals with or intimidating other bar review courses who attempt to compete with it. Mr. Disner's suit is not to be confused with the complaint just filed in New York. Will BAR/BRI litigation ever end? Or, to roughly paraphrase Dickens, will the litigation drone on for decades, "perenially hopeless"? Stay tuned.
