Government funding for new public education services, school meal programs, public housing issues, special education programs in public schools, and ransomware and privacy in higher-education institutions, are among the stories covered by the National Law Review. Visitors will read updated legislation that has passed prohibiting discrimination in the classroom, or new policies related to student-athletes in the country’s top institutions. Campus sexual assault, the #MeToo Movement in the workplace and public education sector, employee relations, and other new stories are reported daily by the National Law Review.  Additionally, litigation and decisions from major circuit courts and the US Supreme Court about public sector employment and other issues related to major government institutions are carefully analyzed by the National Law Review. 

The National Law Review also covers hot topics like civil rights, and how they intersect with the public-education sector in the United States. Our legal experts also cover issues related to the evolution of Title IX, and how enforcement is carried out by the relevant agencies.  Additionally, NLR has articles on how public services and public education work together, topics like transgender discrimination, gender-based harassment claims, and discrimination lawsuits, are leading stories which visitors will find on the website. Details about violence and mass shootings in the realm of public education and institutions, student rights, teacher/employer rights, and other topics related to the public institutions and services sector, can all be found on the National Law Review’s website.
