EDUCATION CASEBOOK AIMED AT STUDENTS, LAWYERS, ADMINISTRATORS

     COLUMBUS -- Two legal scholars from Ohio State University, 
President E. Gordon Gee and Philip T.K. Daniel, have written a 
book on educational case law with Hebrew University scholar 
Stephen Goldstein.  Gee is a professor of law and Daniel is an 
associate professor of educational administration and an adjunct 
professor of law.

     "Law and Public Education:  Cases and Materials" is a case 
book on constitutional issues facing school boards, 
administrators, teachers, students, and parents.  The book is 
intended for use by students of law and education as well as 
school administrators and attorneys, according to Daniel.  The 
1,549-page tome was published in December by Michie Co., a 
Charlottesville, Va., legal publisher.

     "The book is a compilation of good law in legal disputes 
about education," said Daniel, whose research interests include 
school choice and due process hearings in special education.  The 
textbook covers such topics as compulsory education, public 
education finance, the rights of students to free expression and 
the rights and education of disabled children.  Other topics 
include racial desegregation, church-state relations, the 
employment of teachers, and the control of student conduct.

     Information is provided in the form of cases, law review 
articles, excerpts from books, and a series of narratives, 
comprehensive notes and questions.

     Daniel and Gee teach a second-semester seminar on education 
and the law in Ohio State's College of Law.  Goldstein is the 
Edward Silver Professor of Civil Procedure at Hebrew University 
of Jerusalem.

     "Anybody who has a need for a course involving legal issues 
in education will find this book useful," Daniel said.
