Description

WOOD, JR., Circuit Judge. These appeals arise from a lawsuit instituted by a class of former students of two beauty schools. The class alleged that the schools were "sham schools" because the schools provided little or no education and did not adequately prepare the students for a career in cosmetology despite representations to the contrary. These students' claims were grounded in RICO, the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act and breach of contract. The students' Illinois Consumer Fraud claim and two of three RICO claims that went to the jury were successful, although the jury awarded the class damages only as to the consumer fraud count. The class did not prevail on one RICO claim or the breach of contract claim.
