The content of this seminar includes an analysis of the legal basis for the public schools, the relationship of the federal and state appelllate courts to schooling, and various effects of major judicial decisions on school policies. Major emphasis is given to those leading cases, especially at the federal level, which have defined the parameters of Constitutionally protected freedoms in schools. Attention is given to the statutory and constitutional grounds upon which the cases are decided as well as to the legal arguments which have been developed to decide the cases .
