Attorneys
Education law attorneys gather here to provide collegial support for lawyers who may work for school districts, higher education institutions, or private organizations, and they may also represent individual students or families in education-related legal matters. They work on a wide range of topics, such as school finance and funding, student rights and discipline, school policy and governance, special education and accommodations for students with disabilities, academic freedom and free speech, discrimination and civil rights violations, and teacher and staff contracts. They may also represent clients in administrative hearings, negotiations, and court proceedings, and they may also advise clients on compliance with state and federal education laws.
