How many of these kinds of cases have you worked on?

Dozens and dozens.

Doug Fierberg is a lawyer.

He specializes in cases where young people have gotten hurt at school.

He calls it school violence law.

In terms of the number of families who I've represented

whose children have died, 15 or so,

and others who've been tremendously hurt,

dozens and dozens.

Doug has taken a particular interest

in the target-rich environment of negligent fraternities,

or as he calls them, dirtbag fraternities.

We've taken the time to understand exactly how misguided the fraternity system is, how dangerous it is.

The sexual assaults perpetrated at frat parties, the hazing-related injuries and deaths.

Doug says these aren't surprising one-off tragedies.

They're predictable products of reckless institutions.

Every fraternity house across the country is essentially managed by a popularly elected 18, 19, or 20-year-old who, as history has shown, or statistics is shown,

is part of a group that is the largest known binge drinkers on college campuses.

That individual with little training is often called upon to make life and death decisions or to intervene in circumstances

that may cause harm to women. And time and again, it's failed.

According to Doug, the way fraternities do business would seem odd in any other industry.

When national Greek organizations' insurance premiums rise because they're getting sued for hazing or sexual assault, they don't take actions to prevent hazing or sexual assault.
