This week’s Top 5 Friday brings you the five most popular Legal stories HigherEdMorning has published.  If there’s one thing we can learn, it’s that where there are students … there are inevitably lawsuits.

1. School tries e-books – and gets sued

• Electronic textbooks might be the next big thing. But until a few kinks get worked out, schools run the risk of getting sued by using them

2. Is it OK to use race in admissions? Court says yes

• Should race be a factor in admissions decisions? It is for this school — which found itself defending discrimination charges in court.

3. Students to school: ‘We want guns’

• Campuses would be safer if students had guns, say two students who sued their school – and won.

4. Supreme Court to decide: Can Christian group exclude gays and lesbians?

• Can universities refuse to recognize and fund Christian student clubs if members exclude gays, lesbians and non-Christians?

5. Student’s ‘C’ grade lands school in court

• Unhappy with his grade, a student sued for an order requiring the school to switch to a pass/fail system.
