Class Action Options
New College law student Marco Marcella has persuaded Daniel Stern of the Wasserman Stern Law Firm to meet with those damaged by New College’s loss of WASC accreditation in order to determine whether to proceed with a class action lawsuit.
In a class action, the plaintiffs are represented collectively on a contingent basis; that is, they pay no attorney’s fees unless there is a recovery. And then, the attorney’s fee is paid out of that recovery. Costs for such things as filings and depositions, however, must be paid by the plaintiffs.
There must be a minimum of 35 class members before an action can be filed.
Anyone who is interested in meeting with Mr. Stern as a group to discuss a class action suit against New College of California should contact him directly.
