Description Fix student discipline assignment according to how my professor teaches you to text case laws. Citing more from case laws and district The most common issue with this assignment is that students summarize the procedures to be followed for students with disabilities. The written essay assignment for this week is not asking you to do that. It is asking you to summarize the long and short term suspension procedures only for students in the general population. The second most common issue is that students summarize the reasons that a student might face a suspension. The assignment is not asking you to summarize why students are suspended. Rather, it is asking you to describe how students are given notice of a suspension and the procedures for requesting a hearing for short and long term suspensions. If you find it difficult to find the information on suspension procedures in your local district, please let me know and I will help you find the information. The most common issue that I find is that the student code of conduct will list all of the reasons that a student might face a suspension and in a separate section list the due process procedures. So, the offenses might be outlined on page 60 and the due process procedures on page 112 of a large handbook. In addition, the due process procedures might be listed in a completely separate document. So, as I have been teaching this course for several years, I may have a bookmark for your district procedures. Remarkably, I have likely had a student from your district in the past. So, please do not spend too long looking for them before reaching out to me for help. Rubric This week we discuss due process procedures in a school setting. Your graded assignments are the two discussion questions as well as your essay on due process in the educational setting. I highly recommend that you print out the grading rubric for the essay and keep it next to you while writing. Make sure you address the various elements addressed in the rubric. APA Style Your assignment must be prepared according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required. See my separate announcement on the new 7th edition of the APA that is now required to be utilized. Case Law Citations This assignment also requires you to read the Goss v Lopez case. This is often referred to as "case law". You will need to refer to this case and the U.S. Constitution in writing your essay. Why does a case such as "Goss v Lopez" matter? Different types of laws - There are laws that are passed by Congress or by your state legislatures. You might also have laws passed by a vote of the citizens. These laws are codified and in a book. This type of law is commonly referred to as "statutory law." This means that the law comes from a statute that is listed in a book that you could go and find in the law library. Case law is different. This is law that results from the court issuing a ruling. So, there is no law in a book that codifies its holding. (although legislatures may later pass laws that support or agree with the decision). This is where the ruling of the court states what the "law" requires. For a famous example, many states had and still have laws on the books that state that abortion is illegal in their state and is a crime. The only reason no one was prosecuted and went to jail was because the U.S. Supreme Court in Roe v Wade (1973) held that a woman had a constitutional right to an abortion. Once the U.S. Supreme Court set aside the decision in Roe v Wade, the laws in the individual states were then able to become effective. In the same way, many states have laws that remain in effect that hold that marriage is only between a man and a woman. It is only by virtue of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v Hodges (2016) that these laws are not able to be enforced. When the U.S. Supreme Court issues such a decision, it is binding in all the parts of the United States. When an Arizona Supreme Court issues a decision, it is only binding in the State of Arizona. So, the decision of a court only applies to those citizens who are under the jurisdiction of that court. In Goss v Lopez, the U.S. Supreme Court held that students were entitled to due process before facing a suspension. The assignment this week is asking you whether your school provides notice and an opportunity to be heard as the court required in Goss. Make sure to review my announcement on how to read and cite to case law. Make sure to find the cases and read the case itself and not what a secondary source tells you about the case. I cannot stress strongly enough that your citations should not read Smith v. Jones, Oyez or Smith v. Jones, Findlaw. When writing in your essay that, for example, in Smith v. Jones, the U.S. Supreme Court held..... you need to cite the case and not Oyez or wikipedia.com or people.com or politico.com. You should cite to Smith v. Jones, 123 U.S. 456 (2018). You should cite to the U.S. Constitution directly and not to a source which references it.
