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.
