Finding the way back home: funding for home school children under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act

Article Abstract:

In Hooks v. Clark County School District, the Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit decided that state law should decide if home schooled children are eligible for the same benefits as children in private schools. This decision violates the fundamental purpose of the Individuals with Disabilities Act and should be reversed to ensure home schooled children equal benefits.

The preexistence principle and the structure of the class action

Article Abstract:

The "preexistence principle" states that class-action lawsuits must not extinguish the rights of class members. Class actions in which participation is mandatory are only justified when preexisting rights are in conflict. Class actions are vehicles for the redress of wrongs; they should not be instruments of public policy.
