EXCERPT from TICO TIMES, June 20, 2003
"Two high-profile California-based law firms, Huron Law Group LLP and Masry & Vititoe - the latter made famous by the movie "Erin Brockovich" - are planning to enter the class-action suit in a Northern District Federal Court of California today, attorney Ed Masry told The Tico Times yesterday."
--------------------------------------------
Well, I guess these things take time (2 months and still counting).
My questions are (1) which law firm is going to file the lawsuit? I'm guessing HURON since they're the ones being heavily promoted (2) What is the criteria for joining the lawsuit and approximately how many people have already signed up? (3) Will there be a public announcement or press release made available soon? (4)Most of these kids were sent to these programs by their own parents who presumably did due-dilegence before enrolling their children in these programs. Are these parents somehow exempt from being held accountable for their own actions (or inactions)and if so, what legal-based arguments will be used? (5) If the class action is successful, what does this mean for all the other parents and children who did not join the lawsuit because they believed the program helped their child?
