	Court Hears Arguments in Abuse Suits Associated Press, carried in Argus Leader October 1, 2007 http://www.argusleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071001/NEWS/71001042/1001 SPEARFISH – The South Dakota Supreme Court was asked to decide whether former students who allege they were sexually abused at two American Indian boarding schools can continue their lawsuits. Lawyers for the Catholic organizations that ran the schools told the justices on Monday that the former students waited too long to sue the organizations. Circuit judges in two lawsuits issued conflicting rulings. At issue is a state law that requires lawsuits for childhood sexual abuse to be filed within three years of the alleged abuse or within three years of when a victim discovered or should have discovered that an injury resulted from abuse.
