I think, there'll come a day where I need to sue my college. Don't ask me why I had enough. Bad Management, and one of the main things would be the laptop issue which in the agreements we supposed to be given a free laptop but until now there aint any. Another thing would be the text books, we never get text books they give us some pile of crap. They give us Photocopied papers and according to the reg-form we're paying $500 for the crap which isn't worth it at all. My question is do you really need a lawyer for this? Can't I do this on my own? gather some reports and file a lawsuit? Cuz hiring a lawyer would be costy...
Since there is no real financial gain in this...go out and buy you a laptop, I just saved you an hours fee talking to an attorney...even if every student decided to file a suit, the best they would get is what they put into it, or a laptop, or a few books...by the time the case got going, you probably would be out of school by then...if you are going to a college, the you would get your books from a expensive book store, and I doubt it is photocopies. if you are in class then the teacher could be giving you photocopies, maybe to do some work, but their income is in the book store... you can futher waste you time on this on your own, which i doubt any attorney will listen to you, but if you want to cause a shout, then round up a handful of students in the same situation, then take it to an attorney, but again, you will never see any financial gain out of this, and your time could be best handled by getting your work done...I agree, if they owe it to you, then they should give it to you, but apparently its not working out in your favor...so unless your group has some money to put into this, then you would have to find an att that will take the case, and he gets paid when the case is setttled, if it even goes that far.
By the time that you got a lawyer and won the case, you would have spent way, way more then what going out and buying the laptop and books would have cost you to begin with.
You could always sue on the cheap in small claims court, you will not need a lawyer, just bring examples of the contracts you signed with the college and examples of how they have breached the contract (not providing a laptop, providing photocopied pages for textbooks). Call the small claims court in your area and ask what it takes to sue. What is the name of your college? Troy
