Two Charleston lawyers are trying to drum up clients for a class-action lawsuit against West Virginia University, arguing degrees from the school are now less valuable.

The law firm run by Greg Chiartas and Bruce Freeman began running newspaper ads this week and will publish them again this weekend, while students are graduating in Morgantown.
