By: Eric Fogle Editor-In-Chief On October 19, 2025, four perpetrators took just seven minutes to steal eight pieces of jewelry from the world-famous Louvre museum, the value of which is estimated to be close to $100 million. In addition to the jewelry’s monetary value, the pieces have artistic, cultural, and historical significance. In the days following the heist, the Louvre’s security measures became the topic of widespread concern and criticism. The heist itself brought

The incident shocked the nation and sparked vigorous debate about Kirk’s legacy in contemporary politics and the state of American politics in general. Kirk is often hailed as one of the key figures whose steadfast advocacy for President Donald Trump amon

By: Stephanie Schmudlach     The decision to go to law school, while not always hard in itself, is without a doubt one of the hardest processes that those who seek graduate level studies may go through. Deciding to pursue a J.D. as an undergraduate student, or even in high school, gives you the advantage of continuous studying and maintaining your pace as at each step you take. So, what about those of us who make the decision later in life, the ones who decide to take this pa

By: Sam Santavicca “ Show me the money!”  is just as ubiquitous in  Jerry Maguire  as it is at a Student Bar Association Finance Committee hearing. These hearings, which I have participated in for two years, are exceedingly long, excruciatingly boring, and incredibly important.   Every fall, each student organization treasurer is required to submit a budget pitch to the SBA treasurer. The treasurer then holds budget hearings where the Finance Committee asks the treasurers dir

By Cael Shaw 2L JD/MPA, President of the Cleveland State College Democrats October 2025 saw a drastic change to CSU’s on-campus culture, the starkest change I have seen in the four years I have been here – CSU Administration completely folded 89.3 WCSB into Ideastream Public Media after 50 years on the air.   As the CSU College Democrats, we believe in supporting interesting and independent public media, community engagement, and programming that uplifts the voices of student

By: Kanani Chi’ Sanders   “Where are you from?” A question that can present some tension when posed with hidden intentions. But when I answer, I happily say Shaker Heights, Ohio. The question itself can reveal so much about a person. To me, being from Shaker Heights arises a nuanced sense of pride within me. I grew up in the small town and lived there until I was 15. Although since then, I’ve moved around and ultimately settled in a township within Lake County, I’m still from

By: Ian Duncan   Article II, Section 1 of the Student Bar Association (SBA) Constitution states that SBA "shall represent the interests of the student body of the Cleveland State University College of Law…" This is not just a duty, but a profound commitment to each and every student, regardless of their beliefs or background. SBA's purpose is to champion student interests, ensuring that all students have equal access to educational and professional opportunities. However, thi

By Abigayle Cragin  Can you rise to the occasion? When the pressure is on and the stakes have never been higher, can you make the decisions and sacrifices necessary to get the job done? And to do it efficiently? Kamala Harris can. Not only did she go the distance, she maintained her pace each and every step of the way. 107 Days is the first-person account of running for President of the United States in the 2024 election. Harris details each step of the process from Joe Bide

By: Jeffrey Yoham       Since beginning law school, I’ve learned lessons not just from my courses but from navigating the environment and the experiences interlaced within. Now, in my third and final year, one truth has been reinforced every semester to varying degrees—though my first year made it clearest of all. The truth is that no one will advocate for you . Only you can truly champion your cause through your choices. Others may offer support or easy votes of confidence,

By Joshua Brown    The old family wisdom says that you should never start experimenting with your cooking on Thanksgiving Day. The stakes are too high; everyone is looking for you to deliver the tried and true recipe. Your half-baked idea for a chocolate-topped macaroni & cheese is simply not appropriate. That doesn’t necessarily mean replicating last year’s dinner plate, but it does mean that everything “new” must be tested, prepared, and refined prior to its debut. When you
