Case Study: Dilemmas at Jim Mullins Elementary


For my legal case study in Legal Dilemmas for School Administrators, , Autumn 2007, I created a complex cased based loosely on a true event. Examining this case and the dilemmas presented will help future and current teachers understand key school, legal issues. The dilemmas in this case center on the following issues:

  1. Assault and Battery
  2. Due Process
  3. Teacher Termination
  4. Defamation
  5. School Violence
  6. Suspension/Expulsion
  7. Tort Liability
  8. Discrimination
  9. Media Relations
