Overview

The most comprehensive and well-documented school law book available, Public School Law: Teachers’ and Students’ Rights, Seventh Edition, addresses legal principles applicable to practitioners in a succinct but comprehensive manner by uniquely blending a detailed treatment of landmark cases with a thorough discussion of the legal context, trends, and generalizations to guide all school personnel in their daily activities. This edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to reflect new laws, policies, and judicial decisions, with several reorganized chapters to reflect a more accessible and user-friendly textbook for school law students. Written primarily for teachers, school administrators, and other public school personnel taking a school law course at the graduate and master’s levels, there is not a greater, more comprehensive resource on the market today than Public School Law.
