There are many cases filed in the courts every day, and I have no way of knowing about 
them unless I consult a particular docket.  I believe federal court dockets may be accessible 
online for a fee, but state court dockets are not.  I'm not curious enough to want to pay the 
fee.

The refer to themselves on the air as AM 1200 and 1430, and while I haven't paid attention to 
a legal ID lately, I assume they also say WKOX before WXKS.
