With extensive updates, restructuring, and new material, this edition of the casebook provides a comprehensive examination of the legal and public policy issues affecting both K–12 and higher education. The book expands its coverage of First Amendment concerns across educational settings while retaining its strong emphasis on equal access to quality education. It continues to offer rigorous policy analysis and pioneering discussions on technology in education and the rights of LGBTQ+ students.

This edition further explores a wide array of critical topics, including campus safety and interactions with the criminal justice system, student discipline and due process, sexual harassment and assault, and the rights of educators. It addresses bilingual education, disability rights law, the current status of affirmative action, school segregation and race-conscious remedies, and the role of religion in schools alongside church/state separation issues. Additional coverage includes gender equity, freedom of speech and expression, censorship, privacy law in educational contexts, the school-to-prison pipeline, cyberbullying, and issues of school finance.

In higher education, the text delves into accountability and affordability, charter school legal frameworks, and the contested rights of undocumented students. By combining doctrinal analysis with timely policy debates, this casebook equips students, educators, and practitioners with the knowledge and critical perspective needed to navigate the complex legal landscape of contemporary education.
