Editat de Charles Russoen Limba Engleză Electronic book text – 2 iul 2012
okey cases in education law, including both case summaries and topical overviews
"Constitutional issues
"Key concepts, theories, and legal principles
"Key statutes
"Treaties (e.g., the Universal Declaration on Human Rights)
"Curricular issues
"Educational equity
"Governance
"Rights of students and teachers
"Technology
"Biographies
"Organizations.
In addition to these broad categories, anchor essays by leading experts in education law provide more detailed examination of selected topics. The Encyclopedia also includes selections from key legal documents such as the Constitution and federal statutes that serve as the primary sources for research on education law. At the same time, since education law is a component in a much larger legal system, the Encyclopedia includes entries on the historical development of the law that impact on its subject matter. Such a broadened perspective places education law in its proper context in the United States legal system.

Edited
by
Russo,
the
Joseph
Panzer
Chair
in
Education
in
the
School
of
Education
and
Allied
Professions
and
an
adjunct
professor
in
the
School
of
Law
at
the
University
of
Dayton,
and
written
by
over
100
academic
contributors,
this
encylopedia
helps
parents,
teachers,
students,
and
other
lay
readers
understand
the
education
laws
that
might
apply
to
their
own
situations.
It
provides
entries
on
persons
(such
as
the
participants
in
Brown
v.
Board
of
Education),
biographies
of
important
people,
180
cases,
and
excerpts
of
the
actual
cases
in
a
way
that
is
approachable
to
novices
while
providing
sufficient
information
for
advanced
readers.
Each
volume
begins
with
a
comprehensive
A-to-Z
list
of
entries
and
a
readers'
guide
to
the
entries
in
both
volumes
by
topic.
The
topics
covered
include
collective
bargaining;
concepts,
theories,
and
legal
principles;
constitutional
rights
and
issues;
curricular
and
instructional
issues;
educational
equity;
governance
issues;
litigation;
organizations;
parental
rights;
religion
in
public
schools;
special
education
and
the
rights
of
the
disabled;
statutes
and
treaties;
student
rights
and
welfare;
teacher
rights;
and
technology.
Further
readings,
cross-references,
and
legal
citations
are
provided.
The
explanations
of
landmark
cases
bring
these
technical
issues
to
novices
and
also
put
the
case
in
a
historical
and
a
contemporary
context
so
readers
can
grasp
better
these
turning
points
in
education
in
the
United
States.
BOTTOM
LINE
A
welcome
addition
to
any
public
or
academic
library,
this
set
would
also
be
of
use
in
a
law
library
where
educational
law
might
need
to
be
explored
and
reviewed
at
a
more
basic
level
than
other
legal
texts."

“Now, more than ever, educators and other stakeholders need to know about law and legislation as it applies to education. Federal mandates and a changing world are reflected in a broad array of legal topics and cases. Education legal expert Russo has edited an encyclopedia that covers U.S. education law since the seminal case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954) (although the Canadian Charter of Rights is mentioned). The volumes contain more than 400 topical entries written by about 120 contributors, mainlyfrom academia.
The first volume begins with an alphabetical list of the entries, followed by a thematic “Reader’s Guide” listing the entries associated with topics such as “Biographies” (mainly Supreme Court justices), “Curricular and Instructional Issues,” “Educational Equity,” “Religion in Public Schools,” and “Technology.” Not surprisingly, most entries fall under “Litigation.” Russo notes several “anchor” articles, such as an analysis of Brown v. Board of Education. These are not called out in the main part of the work, so the introduction is needed to identify them.
The alphabetical entries range from 1 page to 16 pages, with those on landmark court cases being longer. Generally, the case articles include the following aspects: a brief introductory summary, case facts, court ruling, impact of ruling, further readings, legal citations, and, for landmark cases, lengthy excerpts from primary sources. All articles are signed and have cross-references; most include further readings and legal citations. The encyclopedia seems to focus more on K–12 legal issues than postsecondary ones,probably because of the complex issues surrounding the rights of minors. Contemporary topics such as Cyberbullying and Global Positioning System (GPS) Tracking demonstrate the work’s currency. However, library issues in general are largely ignored. An extensive index with many subtopics concludes the second volume.
Smaller educational legal summaries exist, and a couple of texts deal with Supreme Court cases about education, but this set provides a unique combination of general educational legal issues and case-specific information. It should be a welcome addition to academic and large public libraries. Also available as an ebook.”
