President Donald Trump, in court papers, has accused a lawyer and nearly two dozen law professors of lodging “inflammatory, gratuitous and untested facts and assertions” in their objections to the $25 million Trump University settlement.
The lawyer, Sherri Simpson, a personal bankruptcy attorney in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has appealed court approval of the settlement. She claimed the settlement failed to give class members, who were given the opportunity to opt out of the case in a 2015 notice, a second chance to back out once the deal was struck. The law professors, joined by a handful of notice experts, have backed Simpson’s appeal in amicus briefs, calling the settlement “fundamentally unfair.”
