Preparing our workforce, the Education industry faces rising enrollment; changing demographics; low-income, special ed and English-as-second language needs; national, state and local politics and policies; diverse stakeholders; No Child Left Behind Act standards and accountability; high performance goals; educational equity, funding and allocation issues; reform; school choice options; privatization; and outsourcing.
Sutherland has a national reputation for successfully representing states, local governments and school districts, at trial and appellate court levels, in complex matters ranging from school funding and adequacy litigation to desegregation cases. We’ve played a leading role in major cases for numerous states, large urban school districts—even taken a case to the United States Supreme Court. We also have worked on matters as varied as diversity admission policies, chartered schools and school construction consulting and litigation. Our lawyers are nationally sought-after speakers and writers on issues such as education law, adequacy, finance, and the impact of the No Child Left Behind Act on school funding policies and student performance.
