Education Law, Policy, and Practice: Cases and Materials

by Michael J. Kaufman, Sherelyn R. Kaufman

Overview

Kaufman's (Loyola U. of Chicago School of Law) textbook is designed to empower, engage, and inspire students to integrate education law, policy and practice. The text contains carefully edited versions of the most significant Supreme Court, lower federal court and state court decisions governing American education, organized to demonstrate the evolution of legal standards in each area of education law. It raises "real world" questions to push students to apply the settled law in difficult, unsettled situations. Coverage includes the parameters of public education, the legal and practical aspects of public school governance, student rights and responsibilities, the education environment, and teacher rights and responsibilities.
