From the Washington Post
A Circuit Court judge approved an $11 million settlement Tuesday for most of the families of victims of last year's Virginia Tech massacre, but some of them remain dissatisfied and angry over the actions of the state and the school.

Fierberg said badjocks.com finally lets people actually see what has been happening for a long time. Fierberg has represented seven families throughout the United States who have lost their children to hazing. "Deaths don't even tell the whole story. There are a lot of women out there who wake up the next morning with a fragmented understanding of what happened to them the night before."Washington-based trial lawyer Douglas Fierberg said he agreed that schools need to start educating students on hazing, because he's seen what kind of tragedies can result.
From USA Today
Charges were filed this month against students and administrators linked to the recent fire death of a 19-year-old sophomore at Bradley University in Peoria, Ill., and the alcohol poisoning of a 18-year-old freshman at Rider University in Trenton, N.J.As students head to the nation's college campuses, relishing their new independence, criminal prosecutions in the deaths of two young men are a sober reminder of how quickly alcohol-fueled "fun" can spin out of control.
