Campuses and The Courts:
A Spring 2019 Webinar Series from TNG
For years, you've had a chance to attend Case Law Update sessions from TNG at conferences around the country. Now, to reach a wider audience, we're bringing the case law update to you, in the form of a webinar series. As you've noticed, litigation against colleges and universities is at a fever-pitch right now. At one level, it's not a good thing that schools are being sued more often, but we always try to learn from the case law, and the upside is, we're learning more than ever.
You've always been able to count on TNG to translate the voice of the courts into practical advice for practitioners, and this webinar series will continue that tradition. You'll understand the voice of the court, but also benefit from our voices on the best ways to interpret and implement, as the courts become ever more interventionist in administrative practices, policies, and procedures.
We kicked off the webinar series on April 18th overviewing the top cases from the previous 12 months. In the remaining webinars, we will focus on the leading decisions affecting student conduct, due process, Title IX, ADA/504, behavioral intervention, and free speech.
These webinars will be topical. Times, dates, topics, and presenters for each of the additional four are listed below:
- BIT-related Case Law: Thursday, May 2 from 2-3pm EDT, presented by W. Scott Lewis, J.D. and Daniel C. Swinton, J.D., Ed.D.
- Title IX Case Law: Thursday, May 16 from 2-3pm EDT, presented by Anna Oppenheim, J.D. and Joe Vincent, M.L.S.
- First Amendment Case Law: Wednesday, May 29 from 12-1pm EDT, presented by Saundra K. Schuster, J.D. and Kim Pacelli, M.Ed., J.D.
- ADA/504 Case Law: Tuesday, June 18 from 3-4pm EDT, presented by Saundra K. Schuster, J.D. and Tanyka M. Barber, J.D.
Recordings will be made available for purchase following each date for those unable to join the live events. Click
