Education Law

Students and teachers in our education system face a unique set of legal issues. The attorneys at Marshall Law PC can advocate for their rights.

The most common civil cases involving the education system concern charges brought as grounds for suspension or expulsion of a student; students may need representation to defend their rights to due process and disclosure. Other cases may involve the constitutional rights of public school students, including freedom of speech and association. On college campuses, Title IX and VI discrimination may be a concern.

Special needs students in elementary, middle school, and high school settings may face a variety of complex legal issues regarding their eligibility for and participation in special education classes according to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

Teachers and professors may also need representation with regard to contract disputes or claims brought by students or school administrations.
