EdCounsel Insights
This podcast features host Duane Martin and other members of the EdCounsel team, who provide the latest updates on legal issues facing Missouri public schools. In each episode, the host will take a current legal topic and provide practical insights into how to manage the legal risks and compliance issues related to that topic. In January 2014, four school attorneys left the school law practice at former firms to found a completely different type of law firm – one whose sole purpose is to serve Missouri public school districts. EdCounsel is now a team of 12 attorneys who are dedicated to public schools and public school leaders.

•
EdCounsel, LLC
As schools wrap up an extraordinary year, school leaders may see some routine - and some bizarre - student misconduct issues. Whether a senior prank, an off-campus matter carried over to the school, or even a weapon incident, the year-end spike in student misconduct can require compliance with some complex discipline procedures, possibly affecting graduation or suspensions after the close of the year. In this podcast, Duane and members of the EdCounsel team tackle legal issues related to poor student choices that create challenges for school leaders in May.
