Courier-Journal: Law School Is Sold and Owners Leave in Settlement With Students Who Sued

Students at Kentucky’s first for-profit law school have forced its owners to cease their role in the school’s operation and relinquish ownership.

In a settlement struck late yesterday in a lawsuit filed by more than 30 students at the American Justice School of Law in Paducah, the three owners of the school, including two deans, agreed to transfer ownership to an investors group headed by a local physician and to play no role in its future administration, said the students’ lawyer, Dennis Null.
