EdCounsel Insights
This podcast features host Duane Martin and other members of the EdCounsel team, who provide the latest updates on legal issues facing Missouri public schools. In each episode, the host will take a current legal topic and provide practical insights into how to manage the legal risks and compliance issues related to that topic. In January 2014, four school attorneys left the school law practice at former firms to found a completely different type of law firm – one whose sole purpose is to serve Missouri public school districts. EdCounsel is now a team of 12 attorneys who are dedicated to public schools and public school leaders.

One of the few tools available to address board member misconduct is public censure. Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court accepted a case in which a board member claimed his First Amendment rights were violated when his board censured him for alleged misconduct. In this podcast, Duane discusses the pending Supreme Court case and its implications for Missouri school boards.
