A federal judge has struck down an attorney’s request for legal fees in a $9.5 million class action settlement resolving antitrust claims against the publisher of the Barbri bar exam review course.

U.S. District Judge Manuel Real in Los Angeles rejected George Richard Baker’s argument that he is entitled to $578,750 in fees for his role in raising red flags about the coupons in a settlement with West Publishing Corp. and Kaplan Inc. Baker represents six objectors to the deal.
