Special educational needs ('SEN') has been a developing legal area since 1993. Just under 1.5 million pupils in England have special educational needs ('SEN') and the number of children and young people with Education Health and Care ('EHC') plans increased to 473,300, as at January 2022. Apart from a decrease in 2020, requests for EHC plans have increased each year since EHC plans were introduced. In the academic year 2021/22, HMCTS tribunals recorded 11,000 registered SEN appeals, an increase of 29% when compared to the prior year.These appeals, which deal with disputes in England between a Local Authority and parents or young people relating to EHC needs assessments and plans, can now be "extended" to include health and social care issues too. They are heard in private, by independent panels consisting of a judge and 1 or 2 specialist members who have relevant specialism and experience. Examination of expert evidence is a common feature of these appeals.This is a detailed practitioner's guide to this fast-growing area. It addresses in detail the relevant statutory and case law as well as the rules and procedure of the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal which govern these appeals.ABOUT THE AUTHORKatherine Anderson is a very experienced barrister and education law specialist ranked as a Leading Junior in Chambers and Partners and Legal 500 rankings since 2021.

"Nearly a century ago, famed liberal attorney Clarence Darrow defended schoolteacher John Scopes in a blockbuster legal proceeding that brought the attention of the entire country to the small town of Dayton, Tennessee. Darrow's seminal defense of freedom of speech helped form the legal bedrock on which our civil liberties depend today."--

"The United States Supreme Court closed the courthouse door to federal litigation to narrow educational funding and opportunity gaps in schools when it ruled in San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez in 1973 that the Constitution does not guarantee a right to education. Rodriguez pushed reformers back to the state courts where they have had some success in securing reforms to school funding systems through education and equal protection clauses in state constitutions, but far less success in changing the basic structure of school funding in ways that would ensure access to equitable and adequate funding for schools."--

Este libro del profesor Emilio J. Urbina, tal como lo indica en la presentación el R.P. Dr. José del Rey Fajardo sj, es el fruto de dos décadas de docencia e investigación en postgrado en las universidades venezolanas, y tiene por objeto sugerir técnicas para una mejor evaluación de los seminarios de investigación doctoral y de maestría. A tal efecto, Urbina explica en tres capítulos los pasos fundamentales para la elaboración del Trabajo Especial de Grado y la Tesis Doctoral en las ciencias jurídicas, introduciendo al lector en una amena exposición sobre las peculiaridades dogmáticas del Derecho que lo hacen resistente a la tentación de imponerle métodos y metodologías ajenas a su esencia epistemológica. El primer capítulo expone los pormenores sobre el descubrimiento, elección y minuciosidad del tema de investigación, sobresaliendo, el quid del delicado arte de precisar los enfoques novedosos de ejes temáticos considerados "clásicos". El segundo capítulo se detiene en el estudio de las fuentes de investigación y su abordaje metodológico en Derecho, introduciéndonos en las técnicas globales más destacadas para el análisis de las fuentes que alimentarán los argumentos racionales del trabajo o tesis final. El tercer capítulo explica sistemáticamente el diseño teórico y los principales métodos jurídicos de investigación a lo largo de la historia del Derecho.

In this fascinating story of evolution, religion, politics, and personalities, Matthew Chapman captures the story behind the headlines in the debate over God and science in America.Kitzmiller v. Dover Board of Education, decided in late 2005, pitted the teaching of intelligent design (sometimes known as "creationism in a lab coat") against the teaching of evolution. Matthew Chapman, the great-great-grandson of Charles Darwin, spent several months covering the trial from beginning to end. Through his in-depth encounters with the participants--creationists, preachers, teachers, scientists on both sides of the issue, lawyers, theologians, the judge, and the eleven parents who resisted the fundamentalist proponents of intelligent design--Chapman tells a sometimes terrifying, often hilarious, and above all moving story of ordinary people doing battle in America over the place of religion and science in modern life.
