An ever-growing number of complaints — approaching 20,000 annually — is filed with the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR). Education Law, part of the LexisNexis Civil Rights & Strategy Series, is a practical resource for attorneys, school officials, and others, who are filing, responding to, or evaluating these complaints. This concise yet comprehensive resource details the education and civil rights statutes OCR enforces, administrative and judicial methods of enforcement, and the availability and requirements for private actions. Checklists and forms, including those needed for private litigation alleging harassment and equal opportunity violations, are provided as part of this publication.
