Robert Steinberg was an aspiring medical student. He filed a suit against Chicago Medical School due to the accusation that the medical school failed to review his application based on the academic bulletin. Steinberg paid the admission fee of fifteen dollars but felt that the defendant used nonacademic criteria to make the admission decision (Justia US Law, 2018). Robert Steinberg was under the impression that the decision was based on the money his family was able to pay the school.
