Education Law Resource Guide
This selective guide highlights major print and electronic resources available to Cleveland State University students researching issues in Education Law. Please contact your Law Library Research Services librarians during their scheduled hours, or via email to research.services@law.csuohio.edu for assistance in locating/using these or other resources to meet your needs. Although some of the links below lead to Westlaw and LexisNexis database resources and require a valid law student Westlaw or LexisNexis password for access, many others link to LexisNexis Academic, an OhioLink research database, available to all C.S.U. students, faculty, and staff, who can access it on campus, or elsewhere via authentication. Some journals available electronically, such as those via HeinOnline, are only available on the C.S.U. campus or C.S.U. network.
Call number links are to records in the Law Library catalog, SCHOLAR.

IntroductionThis guide is specifically designed to assist Cleveland State University students taking Education or School Law courses, including Special Education Law, whether in the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, or graduate/undergraduate courses in the College of Education. Because legal issues related to education may involve any of a number of areas of law and legal research ( torts, constitutional law, etc.) the researcher is encouraged to start with a secondary source - book, article, ALR, etc., and then follow annotations to statutory law and court decisions. ________________________________________________________________________________
LegislationOhio: The Ohio Revised Code's Title 33 contains the laws passed by the Ohio General Assembly relating to Education matters, however there may be other sections of the Code more pertinent for a topic: For example - the definition of an "athletic trainer" is in the ORC volume Title 47 Occupations -- Professions, in § 4755.60 "Persons required to report injury or neglect" is in Title 21 Courts -- Probate and Juvenile, in §2151.421 "Protection orders concerning domester violence" in Title 31 Domestic Relations - Children, in §3113.31 Start with the Index to the ORC, and then go to the Title and section. Note in nearby sections if there are definitions related to the code provisions. In an annotated code, both the language of the law as presented in the Code section, and the annotations following it, can facilitate your research. Annotations include citations to cases that the editor believes are related to the code section, cross references to other code sections, and perhaps history sections indicating information about amendments to the code section. Annotations also often include references to other books, practice manuals, and legal periodical articles which discuss the statute. Also check the pocket part supplement when using print codes for any amendments to the section and/or more recent annotations to court decisions. Ohio Revised Code (LAWriter - from State of Ohio website - unannotated) Ohio General Assembly website - for tracking legislation http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/ Gongwer-OH.com -- via OhioLINK -- The Gongwer Ohio Report -- a resource for tracking and/or researching Ohio legislative developments.

Other States' Codes: The Law Library has a current print annotated code for many states. The sets are shelved by call number, alphabetically by state, on the Atrium Level of the Law Library, beginning with KFA (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona), KFC (California), etc. Code arrangement will vary by state. Start with the index, and check the pocket part supplement for amendments to the law and newer annotations to court decisions.

Start there and then go to the Title and Section number.

Searching Scholar and OhioLINK(Scholar Hands-on Instruction)To identify titles of books and periodicals in both the Law Library and the University Library, check SCHOLAR, the online catalog, under such subjects as the following: Brown, Oliver, 1918- -- Trials, litigation, etc Charter schools -- United States Children with disabilities -- Education -- Law and legislation Discrimination in education -- Law and legislation Educational equalization -- United States Educational law and legislation Educational vouchers -- Law and legislation -- United States Religion in the public schools -- Law and legislation School choice -- Law and legislation Segregation in education -- Law and legislation Sex discrimination in education -- Law and legislation Special education -- Law and legislation Students -- Legal status, laws, etc United States. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Or, try a Keyword search and then click on pertinent subject heading for other books on that subject. If a copy is not available at Cleveland State University, or for perhaps additional titles on that topic, consider checking OhioLink, and requesting the title. ________________________________________________________________________________
Identifying and Locating Law Journal Articles on Education Law TopicsSee Finding Articles in Law Reviews, Journals and Other Legal Periodicals for an explanation of the legal periodical indexes and databases available to Cleveland-Marshall College of Law students and the CSU community.
Start with an Index: Because there are only a few journals that are specifically Education Law titles, you are strongly encouraged to utilize indexes to identify articles, and then go to the full text of the articles. There are two major indexes: Index to Legal Periodicals and Books / H.W. Wilson , 1926 - Print index available in Law Library - Reference KF 8 .I54 Index to Legal Periodicals (1981 - current) and Index to Legal Periodicals Retrospective (for earlier coverage) are available in the Law Library, including at the Legal Research Workstations. They are no longer available via OhioLINK. Westlaw - Index to Legal Periodicals LexisNexis - Index to Legal Periodicals Current Law Index / Information Access, 1980 - . Reference K 33 .C87 The print version of Legal Resource Index (on Westlaw (LRI) and on LexisNexis for law students Legal Resource Index, but not included on LexisNexis Academic). More journals indexed than by Index to Legal Periodicals; more specific subject headings.
Other Indexes: Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals Reference Area K 33 .I38 “multilingual index to articles and book reviews published worldwide” 1985 – present. _______________________
For the full text of journal articles go to the journals: Journal Finder (from the Law Library or University Library home page) can assist in identifying electronic and/or print access to journal titles. If you don't find a link, check Scholar for the journal title. Please note that not every volume/issue/article is available in both print and electronic format. Graphic information may or may not be available in electronic format. If a title is not listed on Scholar, please ask your Reference Librarian for assistance. Titles may be electronically available on • LexisNexis Academic (An OhioLink research database) • LexisNexis or Westlaw (for Law students with passwords only) • Hein Online (CSU Campus or CSU Network only) For full text regular "print" format, plus full-text search capability, and for many volumes older than those available on LexisNexis, LexisNexis Academic, or Westlaw: http://heinonline.org/HOL/CurrentJournals Access Hein Online from a Quick Link on the drop-down menu at the top right of the Law Library Home Page . You can search words or phrases, and many older law reviews are available in this database. Once you identify a specific article, you can print the pdf version of a page or the entire article. Generally the footnotes will be at the bottom of each page. Also, charts (if any) will be available in this format whereas they are likely not to be in some of the other databases. To print an article in Hein Online, at the top right of the article screen, click on Print/Download Options. Then select the pdf for Current section, if you want to print the entire article, or Current page pdf to print just the single page. (If you do not take the step of the Print/Download Options screen, and just print screens, the bottom few lines of each page are likely to appear on a second page - not what you want for a long article.) Journal titles available in print format have the call number, and location/availability information, indicated in the Law Library Scholar record. Request current print journal issues at the Law Library Public Services Desk, 1st Level. Older volumes are shelved by call number, generally on the Base Level, beginning at K1. Please note: although some issues/some journals may be available on the Internet from the issuing body/institution/publisher, not all titles are, nor are full runs of the titles. If you are a C.S.U. student, article retrieval may be more efficient using LexisNexis Academic, Hein Online, or print issues at the Law Library. ________________________________________________________________________________
