Education Law Claims against educational institutions require lawyers with deep knowledge of how schools work and the laws which govern them. While some lawyers believe that colleges and universities are not subject to the same laws as other businesses, we know that U.S. and state laws provide important protections to students and faculty. We have extensive experience bringing contract-based and statute-based claims against colleges and universities.

Educational institutions are subject to Titles VI and IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which require non-discrimination and gender-parity. Lippman, Semsker & Salb’s extensive civil rights and employment law background complements our experience solving education-related problems. We have assisted many professors with tenure and non-promotion claims, relying on both discrimination and breach of contract laws. We have also represented students who were improperly removed from their educational programs.
