Within a few weeks of winning the White House, President-elect Donald Trump could face another group of U.S. citizens — a federal jury in California, courtesy of a lawsuit by former students of his now-defunct Trump University who claim they were defrauded by a series of real estate seminars.
・jury：陪審員団
・courtesy of -as the result of a particular thing or situation
：～の結果として
・lawsuit：民事訴訟
・now-defunct：今はない、昔の、もと
・defrauded：詐欺をする
・real estate：不動産
A hearing in federal court in San Diego is set for Thursday, and the trial is scheduled to begin November 28, barring any delays or a Trump decision to settle the case.
・bar：妨げる
While presidents enjoy immunity from lawsuits arising from their official duties, the U.S. Supreme Court has held that this shield does not extend to acts alleged to have taken place prior to taking office.
・immunity：免除、免疫
・arise from：～に起因する、～に基づく
・Supreme Court ：最高裁判所
・hold that：と思う、考える、判決する
・shield：防護
・alleged：（形）～だと言われている
Lawyers for both Trump and the plaintiffs declined to comment Wednesday.
・plaintiff：原告
Time for possible settlement
The Supreme Court also held that a case cannot be delayed just because the defendant is president, though judges are still free to grant reasonable delays to any party.
・defendant：被告人
・grant：承諾する
Miami trial consultant Sandy Marks, who is not involved in the case, said he thought Trump might ask the presiding judge, Gonzalo Curiel, to postpone the trial in an effort to settle the case before taking office.
Claims against Trump over the seminars date to 2010, with two class actions filed in federal court in San Diego and another case brought by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on behalf of students who claimed they were misled into paying as much as $35,000 each to learn worthless real estate investing “secrets” from instructors “handpicked” by Trump.
・mislead：欺く、誤解させる
・handpick：個人的に厳選する
Trump has admitted he did not handpick instructors, but has argued the claim was marketing language not meant to be taken literally. He claims most students were happy with their courses.
・marketing language：？
・not meant to：～であるはずがない
