This text closes a gap in the study of special education law — it affords students in the university classroom setting valuable practice applying legal principles using real-life case studies.

In the study of educational law, students often study the details of the law within the confines of the classroom and are left to apply the principles on their own as situations arise in their professional lives. This much-needed text allows students the luxury of discussing authentic issues with other students and professors within the university setting. Students will be better prepared to deal with legal issues in their professional lives because of this approach.
