An Orange County professor is suing his students for copyright infringement after finding portions of his exams on a website used for sharing study materials.
The lawsuit was filed Friday on behalf of Chapman University Assistant Professor David A. Berkovitz, who is demanding a jury trial for the five unnamed defendants. KTLA was provided a copy of the lawsuit by Berkovitz’s lawyer, Marc Hankin.
According to the complaint, Berkovitz in January 2022 found portions of a midterm and final exam he created for his spring 2021 business course on Course Hero, a website where students can access study materials for specific schools and courses.
