American School Board Journal: School Law
http://www.asbj.com/current/schoollaw.html
This school law website will help you stay abreast of how the courts are interpreting various laws in school settings. The current April article addresses school employees and the applicability of the ADEA. There are highly interesting articles and reviews of legal issues here, some of which date all of the way back to 1993. With many schools becoming war zones due to kids armed with hidden weapons, and parents and school districts desperate to assign blame, you can be sure that school law will continue to remain in the news. Also, since children's rights and students' rights are becoming much more broadly interpreted, you will find some interesting articles and case commentary here. Many of you probably heard about the child who recently sued a teacher over a set of confiscated Pokemon cards. The child won the case. You never know what will happen next in the field of school law! Source: Brief Me Weekly E-Zine, April 18, 2000.

Environmental Law
http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/index.php/Environmental_law
The environmental law page of the Legal Information Institute is a quick, concise way to access information about environmental law. While the text gives only a brief overview of the structure of environmental laws in the USA, the column on the right-hand side gives rapid access to all the major environmental acts as well as federal agency code--a very efficient way to access key language and materials. Other links zip the user to search pages where they can find environmental law decisions from either the Supreme Court or the US Circuit Courts of Appeals. Additionally, there are links to some state and international materials. However, it isn't all just dry statutes and case law; there are also connections to federal agency sites and other environmental sites such as Greenpeace. If you want to get to the meat of environmental legal materials, this site puts you where you need to be quickly and without a bunch of fussy graphics.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Environmental Laws, Regulations, Etc.
http://www.epa.gov/lawsregs/laws/index.html
Laws passed by Congress and signed by the President serve as the foundation for achieving the nation's environmental and public health protection goals. However, most laws do not have enough detail to be put into practice right away. EPA is called a regulatory agency because Congress authorizes us to write regulations that explain the critical technical, operational, and legal details necessary to implement laws.
In addition to these laws, a number of Executive Orders (E.O.s) issued by the President play a central role in our activities. The major laws and E.O.s are listed on this page and can be roughly divided into two categories:
(1) Laws and E.O.s that influence environmental protection
(2) Laws and E.O.s that influence EPA's regulatory process
For every law, we provide a link to the United States Code (U.S.C.), which is the codification by subject matter of the general and permanent laws of the United States. When possible, we also provide a link to a PDF version of each law because it is sometimes difficult to read the full text of in the U.S.C. The U.S.C. is updated annually, however, and therefore may provide a more current version of the law than the PDF version.

Most useful here is First Amendment Alert!, which includes weekly updates on the topic as it appears in state leglislatures, courts, and Congress. If your timing is right, you can catch the page on Banned Books Week (generally the last week of September), which lists all books challenged in or banned from libraries around the U.S.A. (Some will leave you guessing -- like the removal of the American Heritage Dictionary from classrooms in Washoe County, Nevada.)
