Education: Should You Sue Your College?
As COVID settled over college campuses, most schools moved students’ education entirely online. It was a necessary move, designed to prevent the spread of the virus. But American college tuition now costs tens – if not hundreds – of thousands of dollars. And coronavirus has, for the first time, moved students and their parents into the driver’s seat. Some have decided to sue the very schools they’d been so eager to gain admission to, demanding colleges give them some money back.

Doing Time
Drew made a huge mistake, and he paid for that mistake. More than he'd ever imagined he would. In May of 2019, he was arrested for a DUI and for evading the police. He was sentenced to 180 days in the county jail. His lawyer told him he'd only serve a few days. But an unforgivable error gave Drew a sentence that was way more than he bargained for. When he returned from jail, it was March 12th, 2020 -- the day the country irrevocably changed. Special thanks to Drew for sharing his story with us.
