Stripper causing chaos…

Chaos in the courtroom, that is...Charles Privette of Broward County, Florida has filed a lawsuit after being struck by a stripper's shoe. Privette blames the stripper's "negligent dancing" and is suing the Pompano Beach club.

Crazy court cases are everywhere! Read up on some more...

Like Subway? A New York City man sued the sandwich chain for $1 million after being surprised with a 7-inch knife blade baked into the bread of his sammy.

More like 'Victoria's Self-Defense'... A Victoria's Secret store in Los Angeles was sued by a woman claiming to have gotten hit in the eye by panties having flown off a decoration.

What's the craziest court-battle you've heard of? How would it be to stand in as a juror? :D (I would find it really hard to be in the jury without laughing...)

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
