Types of Courses This book is designed for graduate courses titled
Law and Education, Higher Education Law, University Law, College
Law, and/or Legal Aspects of Education, in graduate programs in
Colleges of Education and elective courses in Law Schools.
Description The presentation in the book, a combination
textbook/casebook, gives a complete overview of higher education
law; covering common law, constitutional law, and interpretations
of statute at state and federal levels. The content defines the
legal rights and responsibilities in colleges and universities.
Organization Each chapter begins with an overview of the legal
issues followed by detailed explanations of legal precedents and
the prevailing rule of law. Features The "text-case" method allows
instructors to analyze issues and relate court decisions to
operations of colleges and universities. Students are given the
legal bases that relate factual situations while recognizing
similar experiences they may have as practicing university faculty
members or administrators. Rules of law are explained in narrative
form enabling law students and graduate education students to grasp
the essence of legal precedents as background for reading and
understanding judicial opinions. Judicial opinions are carefully
edited to weed out extraneous legal jargon, and to pinpoint the
dispute at hand. Case briefs are provided at the end of court
decisions that refine points of law addressed in other litigation.
The authors' comprehensive approach gives law students and graduate
education students an overall view of the law. The text in each
subject matter area opens with a historical legal perspective that
captures the current roles of federal and state governments in
higher education. Different areas of law (common law, statutes,
constitutional law) are woven together throughout the text. This
manner of presentation helps reduce legal complexities to a level
easily understood by law students and graduate school students.
Summaries of Case Law Each chapter provides the student with
comprehensive summaries and explanations of judicial rationale of
court decisions in key cases. Pedagogy Edited cases are integrated
into each chapter. Cases focus on the legal precedents and
eliminate unnecessary judicial and procedural matters. Most cases
are brief, saving students and teachers time by identifying
relevant factors and court holdings. Case Notes Case notes for
court decisions from other jurisdictions are presented following
each case to provide additional insights into various legal issues
as expounded by other courts. "Case notes" supplement each case to
add perspective and analysis for each topic. Legal Research Sources
Each chapter is accompanied by reference to legal research
resources including law reviews and journals, legal encyclopedias,
restatements of law, digests, reports, and online resources.
