As many of the entries in this encyclopedia reflect, the editor and contributors have sought to place legal issues in perspective so that students of higher education and the law can inform policy makers and practitioners about the meaning and status of the law and also raise questions for future research as they seek to improve the quality of learning for all.Key Features:

Provides educators with enough awareness of the legal dimensions of given situations to enable them to better frame questions for their attorneys to answer
Addresses emerging technologies such as webcams, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube and the challenges they create for both legislators and the judiciary
Balances the tension between the proactive and reactive dimensions of education law
