EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (Legal Newsline) – An Illinois law firm wants to be the lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit against Toyota over an alleged echo in its hands-free phone system.
Adam B. Lawler Law Firm is the plaintiff in the April 1 lawsuit, though it is represented by three other law firms. The firm leased a Tundra and is seeking to represent a class of others who purchased or leased a Toyota with the alleged defect.

The defendant argues that while the plaintiffs seek reimbursement for receiving an education that was allegedly lesser in value than what they expected, the complaint does not allege that the university saved money by moving courses online.
