N.Y. attorney general's Trump University suit going to trial
Source: USA Today
Judge Cynthia Kern made the decision to allow the case to proceed Tuesday.
I am very pleased the judge has indicated her intention to move as expeditiously as possible to trial, as thousands of Mr. Trumps alleged victims have been waiting years for relief from his fraud, Schneiderman said in a prepared statement Tuesday. We believe that Mr. Trump and (university president Michael Sexton) will be essential witnesses at trial. As we will prove in court, Donald Trump and his sham for-profit college defrauded thousands of students out of millions of dollars.
Schneiderman wants Trump and the organization to pay back the 5,000 students nationwide as much as $35,000 each they invested to participate in live seminars and mentorship programs with the promise of learning Donald Trumps real estate investing techniques.
The AG says the university deceived students into thinking the school was a legally charted university. In 2010, after cease and deist letters from New York, the organization changed its name to Trump Entrepreneur Initiative and later in the year ceased its operations.

The article doesn't say when the trial may occur, but Trump is sure to ask for delays.
There is another class action lawsuit in CA, but I don't know what the status of that is.
