Legal Question in Legal Ethics in California

Re: Fraud

Impossible to give good guidance without more information. Who led you to believe this? What government agency told you your degree would be worthless? What degree were you pursuing? At what academic institution? What representations and guarantees were made to you by the school or by the law enforcement agency you were looking to go into?

That all said, my general impression is that schools are in the business of providing degrees and/or certifications, not representing what the myriad of government agencies may require as prerequisites to employment. Absent more information, I don't see a case here.

Re: Fraud

I agree with Mr. Lee,

I am sure that somewhere buried in paper work (i.e. small print) is a disclaimer from the organization handing out your degree, that there are no guarantees.

In many "sales" areas, the prevailing rule for centuries is "caveat emptor"---"let the buyer beware".

In my opinion, you have absolutely no chance to win even a penny in a law suit.
