Features: The United States is a highly rule-of-law-based country with an overwhelming number of laws. Similarly, its education law is pervasive, covering all aspects of the education sector. Based on thousands of court cases from U.S. federal and state courts, this book provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the general landscape of U.S. education law. It examines and analyzes the rulings and positions of courts at various levels—federal, state, and others—on major education issues such as school administration and management, special education for students with disabilities, school accident torts, teacher qualification certification and employment, and student protection. The book also delves into deeply discussed topics that remain controversial today, such as teacher dismissal, student freedom of speech, corporal punishment of students, and student privacy protection. This work serves as an important reference for understanding U.S. education law and related court cases.
