Barbara - You should be a lawyer

I'm in an employment law class right now which I find highly interesting. We talk a lot about suits like this.

It is not in the best interest of a company to go to court for any reason, even if the company is not in the wrong. If the company won the court case, it would still cost a lot of time, effort, and money. It is always cheaper to just settle out of court. So I guess people sue for whatever they can knowing that the company will probably settle.

The reasons people sue are absolutely ridiculous and disgust me.
