For-profit Florida law school sold to venture capital firm. Leading Wednesday's law school news, AP reports that Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville, FL has been sold to a venture capital firm that plans to broaden the audience for its offerings and erect a number of replica schools nationwide. With th [JURIST's Paper Chase] Sigh... How much money will they spend before realizing that a JD is not a commodity? Hard to say. This sale has been in the works for months, awaiting only ABA approval. Presumably the replica schools will have a harder time getting accredited. 10:16:05 PM  comment []

West Publishing Fires and Sues FindLaw Co-Founder Tim Stanley If you accept declarations by West executives in three courts, West fired Stanley on April 7, 2003. West and Stanley signed a Separation Agreement. Since then, West sued Stanley over the agreement in federal court in Nevada. Stanley objected to jurisdiction in Nevada and said the issues belong before the courts of California. Stanley filed an action in state court in California. The Nevada court declined to give West an injunction against Stanley. West dismissed in Nevada and re-filed essentially the same complaint in federal court in Minnesota. On January 7, 2004, the court in Minnesota issued a temporary injunction against Stanley that shut down justia.com. According to West, justia.com is "for all intents and purposes FindLaw II,"2 and as such violates Stanley's covenant not to compete with West. West moved to stay Stanley's California action and leave matters in the hands of the Minnesota court. [LLRX.com] 4:27:55 PM comment []
