Education Law

3 Credit Hours

This course is a doctrinal survey of U.S. K–12 education law, covering how education is regulated, funded, and structured by states, local districts, the federal government, and private actors. The course is intended both to ground students in what the law is today, and to develop a critical framework around how that law came to be—and how the law might change in response to various calls for reform, engaging historical, critical, policy, and empirical sources.
