Catholic Schools and the Law (Second Edition): A Teacher's Guide

By Mary Angela Shaughnessy

In this increasingly litigious society, where seemingly innocent actions can be taken wrong, here is a book that every Catholic school educator needs to have. Mary Angela Shaughnessy, with a lifetime of experience in Catholic education supplemented with legal expertise, has written a practical guide to help today's Catholic school teachers deal with the legal issues facing them. This revised edition of a popular and well-received work takes into account legal concerns that were barely imagined a decade ago, including student violence, confidentiality and sexual harassment. Shaughnessy's intent is sublimely simple and pragmatic: - to provide Catholic school teachers with an instrument by which to assess their knowledge; - to offer a practical guide to the principles of school law; - and to offer specific recommendations for teachers. The author provides relevant case law to underscore certain issues as well as a helpful Glossary of Terms. Catholic Schools and the Law: A Teacher's Guide is, literally, a book that no Catholic school teacher/administrator or religious educator can afford to be without. +
