The Growing Education Law Blogosphere

Did some searching today for educational law blogs and wanted to pass along my findings.

Our little community of educational law bloggers is growing. By my count, there are at least 15 specific educational law blogs that are active, give or take a couple. Add to that about 5-10 blogs that tangentially blog on educational law issues. And, for the first time today, I am introducing two ed. admin. school law class specific blogs (see below). So, we are moving forward, folks. We all benefit when more educational law blogs and readers come online, so encourage your educational law friends to start their own and be sure to read what others are writing in the community and comment and recommend good posts to your friends.

Anyway, since we are beginning to have a critical mass here, I created a search box for educational law blogs only. When you search using this tool, it will only return results from educational law blogs. It is a great tool to find relatively trustworthy information on educational law for free. It would be especially helpful in educational law classes whether they are in law schools or schools of education. I plan to use it in my school law class, for instance. And don't forget, I built all these educational law blogs into my public aggregator which you can use.

So, the new ones:

First, a couple new education law related blogs to add to your aggregators.

1.     Wrightslaw is blogging. Wrightslaw, the famous special education parental advocacy site, has now added blogging to their online empire. Folks interested in special education law, on either side of the due process hearing table, would do well to add them to their aggregators.

2.     Second, an older blog that is worthy of picking up as it deals with school law issues on occasion is the Public Sector Law Blog. It is written by Patrick Fanelli, a lawyer in practice in Pennsylvania. While he privledges Penn. school law issues over national issues, it still has a fair amount of national school law related posts.

3.     I have linked to this one before, but Jen Weissman is doing a great job so far at her education law blog.

Second: 2 blogs that have been used in educational law classes. This is a great way of using a technology tool to aide learning.

1.     Public School Law 509 - Dr. Charles Luke, Tarleton State University.

2.     UNCC School Law 8120- The school law professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

No problem Patrick. I am doing some pretty major upgrades to the blog this summer and moving it under the CASTLE banner at Iowa State, but in the redesign I plan to have an expanded Blogroll which I will include all the ed. law blogs on. I am looking forward to seeing more educational law posts at your site. On Friday's I usually summarize the posts in the ed. law blogosphere, which I will begin including you in. Thanks for blogging on education law - I wish more practicing attorneys would blog about the stuff they are working on.
