In re Instructure Data Breach Litigation
No. 2:26-cv-00374-RJS-CMR · U.S. District Court for the District of Utah
Nick serves as court-appointed interim lead counsel for the Free-for-Teacher track, or Track 3. The track arises from Instructure’s response to its May 2026 security incidents and permanent discontinuation of Canvas Free-for-Teacher. It concerns direct account holders who allegedly lost access to identifiable course content they created and stored on the platform, including assessments, lesson plans, training modules, rubrics, presentations, discussion materials, and other professional work.
Track 3 addresses educator-specific issues involving ownership and possession of course content, account authentication, individualized notice, preservation, export completeness, migration, reconstruction costs, professional time, business interruption, and equitable relief.
Hall Attorneys also filed a separate action on behalf of Canvas users alleging that the security incident exposed identifying information and messages among users while disrupting students’ finals-week access to course materials, grades, study resources, exam instructions, and online examinations. That action is now part of the consolidated Instructure litigation.
