The
University of California at Berkeley is facing a lawsuit by a former
cheerleader who alleges coaches ignored her concussion symptoms. According to
the woman's lawsuit, despite having a severe headache and other
concussion-like symptoms, she was forced to perform stunts, leading to more
injuries and her eventual withdrawal from school. The lawsuit was filed in
Alameda County Superior Court on Wednesday against the school, the coaches and
USA Cheer, which oversees the sport.

| Victims
of Gun Violence in Chicago Can Proceed with Lawsuit |
|
Victims
of gun violence in Chicago will proceed with a lawsuit seeking tighter gun
regulations, following a federal judge's ruling. The lawsuit was filed last
year on behalf of children affected by shootings in their neighborhood. As
stated in the complaint, gun violence has caused "cognitive and emotional
disabilities" in children, the suit argues, and has had a "disparate impact"
of violence on minority communities. On Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Joan
Gottschall denied the state's motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
