GOLDFARB V. VIRGINIA STATE BAR
421 U.S. 773 (1975 )
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a class action against fee fixing.
FACTS: Goldfarb (P) wanted to buy a house in Fairfax County and that required title
insurance. Only Virginia State Bar members could legally perform a title examination. P
contacted a lawyer who quoted them a precise fee suggested as the minimum by the Fairfax
County Bar Association. That was 1% of the value of the property involved. P then tried to
find a lawyer who would do the work for less but found no one. P brought this class action
for fee fixing in violation of the Sherman Act. Ps sought injunctive relief and damages.
