Over the past year, the practice of education law has faced new challenges as educators and students have had to adapt to changes brought forth by health implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even so, many of the legal issues that we address day to day — such as Title IX, student services and personnel matters — remain at the forefront of the work of education lawyers. We have learned, in recent months, how the constants of our practice interact with new questions generated by unprecedented times.

During this program, attendees explore how the practice of education law has evolved into a "new normal" and consider predictions for how the pandemic will shape our "next normal," while still staying abreast of changes to law unrelated to COVID-19 that impact our practice.
