Product Description

School law is a comprehensive and constantly evolving world. Keeping up with the flood of new developments can present an enormous challenge for busy practitioners. MCLE’s 20th Annual School Law Conference 2020 examines the latest changes in school-related laws, regulations, and policies. Experienced attorneys and other school-related professionals distill the most significant updates of the preceding year into a single day of cutting-edge information and lively discussion.

The Conference offers a comprehensive review of changes in the law stemming from court cases, BSEA decisions, legislation, and regulatory changes. Experienced attorneys offer advice on cutting-edge topics, including preventing and responding to harassment in schools, and addressing the needs of the increasingly large number of students who have serious mental health issues.

Whether you represent school districts, school employees, or parents and students, the Conference is a necessity for your practice. Bring your questions!
