Thomas Jefferson School of Law did not defraud an alum by inflating its graduate employment statistics, a San Diego jury has found.
In a 9-3 vote, the 12-member jury on Thursday rejected the claims of plaintiff Anna Alaburda, who graduated from Thomas Jefferson in 2008 but struggled to find full-time legal employment. The jury deliberated for a day following nearly three weeks of testimony, during which Alaburda’s attorney, Brian Procel, argued that the law school’s process for collecting postgraduate employment data was deeply flawed and designed to make the school’s alumni appear more successful on the job market than they actually were.
