The Buffalo Creek Disaster is the story of how attorny Gerald Stern represented clints who had been hurt by flooding in Wst Virginia attributed to the allged actions of a coal mining company. Much of the book dals with Stern's decision of where to file the case.

Write a two paragraph (more or less), and I'd like your raction to the story Stern tells, and what you learned from his tale. If you want to think back to the book rports you did in high school, I'm fine with that . In your paragraph, I'd like you to addrss as many of the following as you can:

(1) What were th underlying facts that gave rise to the disaster?

(2) How did the story impact your view of th legal system, if at all?

(3) In what Court did Stern file the cas, and why did he select that Court?

(4) In what Court did Strn not want to file the case, and why?

(5) How did Strn select the defendant who was sued?

(6) What were the arguments raisd by the defendant to the Complaint and how did the Court rule?
