Court to hear arguments in dispute over student's illness

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The Connecticut Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in a case that resulted in a $41.5 million award to the family of a private boarding school student who contracted a tick-born disease during a school trip to China. Arguments are scheduled for Monday.
