Students’ Rights
Legal Defense of Students’ Rights
Unfortunately, there are times when students need legal representation. Whether it is an ungrounded expulsion of a college student or a high school’s failure to follow a special education plan, The Bach Law Firm, LLC, has experience with student rights cases. Oftentimes, these cases are civil right’s issues with two sets of victims- the parent and the student.
Defense of College Student Rights
Although a students’ rights case may be for a violation in the admissions process, most often it is an expulsion or threat of expulsion that generates a civil rights law suit. In the competitive world of higher education, every student’s worst nightmare may be getting kicked out of school. When an expulsion is unfair, ungrounded or illegal, the parents often join in the fight to have an expulsion reversed. An expulsion is damaging. Loss of future salary, reputation, loss of class time, tuition, and the time and effort to fight the expulsion are all real damages.
Universities have rules, but often they do not follow their own rules, or they are followed unequally. is an attorney who successfully handled a number of student’s rights cases on behalf of students who were expelled from a university or college.
