This book examines the impact of a variety of court cases involving the legal rights and responsibilities of public secondary school students. Each chapter begins with a brief commentary that provides an overview of a broad area of student rights, followed by a number of short sections that focus on significant subtopics. The final section of each chapter presents edited reports of leading cases applicable to that area of school law. Editing has been minimized in an effort to retain the flavor of each case; a total of 27 cases are reported in this manner. The individual chapters focus on the following topics: dress and personal appearance, freedom of expression, rights of married students, secret organizations, search of students and their lockers, and procedural due process.
