Classrooms, courtrooms, & common sense

An attorney at law who has spent time as a classroom teacher and who has 17 years experience trying cases and knows how teachers are received in the courtroom gives common sense guidelines to keep the teacher in the classroom and out of the court. Discusses procedures in filing a suit, jurisdictions where suits are heard, and the actions for which a teacher may be sued. Presents guidelines to protect the teacher from suits resulting from searches and seizures of places or individuals; libel, slander, and defamation; false imprisonment; and assault and battery.
