Lawsuits

I removed the section on the lawsuits and the external links related to them as they were eating the article - especially the subsection on Ryan Rodriguez v. West Publishing Corp, which was as large as the entire non-lawsuit part of the article. I don't know if the lawsuits belong in the article at all, but since there was no easy way to summarize them, I just nuked the whole section. Before re-adding, please a) consider how much weight (if any) is appropriate in the context of the entire article and b) consider whether details about the lawsuit would be more appropriatly placed in their own article. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 11:27, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes the lawsuits are relevant. There is a near monopoly on Bar review classes and tuition has soared in recent years. The rices about to go up again because of the new rivaled equity investor and plummeting law student matriculation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.100.47.212 (talk) 04:07, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

BarBri → Barbri – Per WP:TITLETM, organization titles should follow conventional capitalization, except in rare cases. Ibadibam (talk) 18:19, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

• Support, a brief examination over use in books in print shows that the lowercase version is as likely to be used in the wild as the camelcase. bd2412 T 18:26, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose. I would support a move to "BARBRI" instead, since that is closer to the original acronym and seems to be what they are using nowadays. It's like how SAT and AARP are still capitalized even though they no longer officially mean anything. --Coolcaesar (talk) 19:38, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
  • Do we write AARP and SAT instead of Aarp and Sat because they were formerly initialisms, or because we still pronounce them as initialisms (eɪ.jeɪ.jɑr.piː), instead of as words (ɑrp)? By comparison, scuba, radar, Interpol and sonar are all written in normal case. BAR/BRI's videos on YouTube appear to pronounce it as a word (ˈbɑr.briː). Is there a Wikipedia guideline for "orphan" acronyms? Ibadibam (talk) 00:15, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose and support "BARBRI per Coolcaesar.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:38, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
• Support. A cursory look at Google News show that sources don't consistently spell the title "BarBri". The company itself appears to have moved away from the "BarBri" form as can be seen in all the running text on their website. As such, MOS:TM would recommend not using that form. I think it's a matter of choosing between Barbri and BARBRI. I think MOS:CAPSACRS and MOS:ACRO would recommend Barbri, since the letters aren't pronounced indivudually, unlike Ibadibam's examples of SAT and AARP, especially as use in sources is inconsistent.--Cúchullain ^t/c 22:17, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
• Support. Excellent analysis by Cuchullain. Andrewa (talk) 00:42, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
• Support. As per Cuchullain. Tiggerjay (talk) 22:12, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

@KLanghans: I started this article 21 years ago, while I was taking the Barbri course for the Florida Bar. I took it again for the Virginia Bar just a few years after that. I recall at the time a dearth of high quality reliable sources discussing the company, and have not had the bandwidth to return to the subject, but I would be interested in knowing what sources you would point to.
