Professional Learning Series and Certificate Programs

Special Education Litigation Certificate Program

Litigation is a constant threat in the area of special education. In New Jersey, the challenge is even
greater because the burden of proof is always on the school district, unlike any other area of the law.
This series will empower participants to understand how to reduce the need for litigation, prepare
for mediation and due process, and be in the best possible position to prevail when litigation occurs,
under IDEA or Section 504. Participants will understand the impact of the pandemic and other
recent events on student and parent rights under IDEA and Section 504, and receive information on
recently enacted statutes and regulations, and the latest state and federal guidance, impacting special
education law.

This Bundled Series includes 3 Live Online Workshops and 1 Online Course.
