Product Description

School law is intricate, multifaceted, and comprises a broad spectrum of understanding to practice it effectively. This seminar provides a wide-ranging, yet detailed overview of school law and its related topics, so you get the tools and information necessary for your practice.

The expert faculty is comprised of attorneys from the full school law gamut, including a veteran lawyer from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and lawyers who represent children, public schools, private schools, and school districts. They teach you about important statutes and cases at both the federal and state level, explore privacy and confidentiality problems with student records, and give you an in-depth look at student conduct issues, bullying, and discrimination.
