We filed our opening brief today in the proposed consumer class action against Western Culinary Institute and Career Education Corp. In support of the brief, we submitted confidential documents, so at least for the present, I can’t post the brief on line. We’re going to seek to remove the confidential designation from the exhibits that we used. If the court agrees, we’ll be able to post it and will do so.
I’m working on the case with Portland attorney Brian Campf. We filed in March 2008. Under our current schedule, Judge Baldwin will hear oral argument on the motion to certify the class action on October 29, 2009. Interestingly, the case generated a rather heated reaction. We’ve since updated the complaint, but owing to some sort of software issues, I can’t seem to upload the new complaint. Working on it.
Meanwhile, if you were a student at Western Culinary Institute and you have questions about this matter, please feel free to find my contact info above and drop me a line.

I graduated from WCI in Jan of 98, is this something that I should know about and/or be involved with?
Hi Sean-Sorry, but I can’t answer your question here because of confidentiality requirements. Feel free to use the contact info to send me a private email or call, and I can respond. I do not charge for initial inquiries, and there is no obligation if you choose to contact me.
It is about time this happened. WCI is very misleading about their quality of education(or, lack thereof) and cost. I am a graduate of this school and would love to be involved in this lawsuit
