Liability for Malpractice in Education.
Loscalzo, Theresa E.
Journal of Law and Education, v14 n4 p595-607 Oct 1985
Courts have not recognized claims of "educational malpractice," though they have held that such a claim could be formally pleaded with liability precluded by public policy considerations. A 1984 New York Court of Appeals decision in "Snow vs. State of New York" may be the initial breakdown to the barrier of public policy considerations. (MD)
