Education and the Law

This updated casebook focuses on both K-12 and higher education issues, addressing legal and public policy controversies that impact communities across the nation. Fifty-five original hypotheticals are included throughout the ten substantive chapters, which contain extensive material on technology-related issues, recent developments in First Amendment law, and equal access to quality education generally. Topical coverage includes campus safety and privacy, copyright issues, the rights of educators, the No Child Left Behind Act, charter schools, bilingual education, special education, religion in the schools, and values-related curriculum disputes in the aftermath of the 2008 election.
