Back to Practice Areas

Members of our firm are leaders and experts in school district obligations to students, and particularly students with disabilities and other special populations of students. The Student Services team represents school districts in disputes involving the California and U.S. Constitutional protections such as Title IV and Title IX.

We also provide advice, counsel, and representation for school districts in all areas related to student services and balancing the rights and obligations of students, parents, and employees. This area of law is as large as it is varied, and includes:

  • Student discipline
  • Free speech issues
  • Search & seizure / right to privacy issues, including the use of SROs and the involvement of local police
  • Other civil rights issues
  • Attendance and truancy issues, including Student Attendance Review Board matters
