Online Graduate Admitted by Mistake Denied LLM

[sanantone]

This is an old article, but I figured it was relevant to this forum because this case set a precedent. Touro College believed that the plaintiff graduated from a brick and mortar law school located in the Philippines, but Novus University School of Law is an online school with an address in either California or Illinois. Therefore, Touro did not grant the plaintiff an LLM after he completed the program. Because the plaintiff did not supply transcripts until months after being admitted, and he didn't correct the director of the program when he assumed that Novus was in the Philippines, the appeals court ruled in favor of Touro College.
