Premier Education Lawyers: your portal to the nation’s leading education attorneys and practice area news

Education law is the legal discipline covering all issues pertaining to schools, from kindergarten through higher education. Historically, attorneys practicing education law have worked toward expanding access to a high-quality education for all children, as well as providing for greater access to higher education. But this practice area has expanded to include issues such as students’ rights; teachers’ rights; school safety; discrimination; conduct and discipline; special education; curriculum; and education options such as homeschooling and charter schools.

Each year Premier Education Lawyers (PEL) researches and recommends leading health care lawyers across the United States.  PEL lists only one attorney and firm in each city and inclusion to the guide is by invitation only.
