For example, drugs, weapons, suicides, robberies, and assaults are now everyday occurrences in some educational facilities. Being able to cope with such situations requires care and some knowledge of the law. In addition, the danger to school employees can go even further, such as personal financial liability in the form of damage law suits by students against the school and its employees. Obviously, the thought of an educator losing personal assets and retirement pay because of only trying to protect other students or one's own self is daunting. THE FOURTH AMENDMENT he Fourth Amendment guarantees people the right "to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures." However, many school and university administrators operate under the belief that students have few (if any) constitutional rights in the school setting. Unfortunately for these administrators, such feelings are no longer valid. Without question, schools have both a right and a duty to provide a safe environment conducive to learning. Some years ago, courts looked at school officials as acting on behalf of the student"s parent. Therefore, school officials were considered to be a private party not subject to the Fourth Amendment (Mercer v. State, 450 S.W.2d 715). However, times have changed in recent years, and now courts view the school officials as state governmental employees who are agents of the government and are therefore bound by the Fourth Amendment. Bellnier v. Lund , 438 F.Supp 47, are subject to the U.S. Civil Rights Act, as amended, and other laws, including exposure to personal financial liability for violating students" rights. In fact, the U.S. Supreme Court has stated that students do not "shed their constitutional rights…at the schoolhouse gate" (Tinker v.

Juries, as well as judges themselves, are normally not knowledgeable in many technical aspects of civil cases and must, therefore, be educated during the trial process. Many times, attorneys look to their local university for expertise. If you have not already received a call, someday you might be contacted by a lawyer to testify as an expert. Not only can your giving expert testimony look impressive on your vitae, it can also bring large amounts of supplemental income to a professor. Well known experts can receive thousands of dollars a day for giving their opinions on matters involved in litigation. While you might think you are or are not an expert, a brief look at court decisions can help us define the term "expert." I. QUALIFICATIONS OF AN EXPERT ourts operate under specific rules on what testimony and evidence can be given at a trial. The federal courts have rules of evidence, which have been adopted, with some modification, by most state courts. Rule 702 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure states that an expert"s expertise can come from his or her own knowledge, skill, experience, training or education. Generally, if there is some reasonable basis that demonstrates the witness has knowledge of the subject beyond that of ordinary knowledge, the evidence is admissible as expert testimony. Before a person can testify as an expert, however, he or she must be first qualified and accepted by the judge as an expert in a particular field. This is done by the lawyer desiring to have a witness accepted as an expert, first laying a proper foundation. In other words, the judge must be satisfied that this particular individual meets the qualifications of an "expert" as far as the judicial system is concerned. The hopeful expert must testify in detail as to his or her education, training, experience, skill and knowledge. Usually, the witness presenting curriculum vitae to the court and opposing counsel is most helpful. The lawyer calling the expert witness asks the witness numerous questions as to background, professional journal articles and books written, national and international committees served on, certifications held, honors received, etc. All of this is done before the witness is asked any questions about the case at hand. When this information is presented before the court, the opposing attorney is then given an opportunity to question the witness about his/her professional qualifications. The opposing attorney is not required to ask the witness any questions at that time, but may do so if he desires. When the lawyer calling the witness asks questions of that witness, it is called "direct examination." When the opposing lawyer gets to ask his or her questions of the witness, it is called "cross examination." After the witness has been examined and cross-examined about his professional qualifications, the lawyer calling him or her asks the judge to accept the witness as an expert in a particular field of study. The judge will ask the opposing lawyer if he or she has any objection to that witness being accepted as an expert. The opposing lawyer then raises his or her objections, if any, and the judge rules on those objections. The judge has broad discretion or C

The first issue is that the FERPA statute does not support a private cause of action for individuals to bring suit. Rather, FERPA's penalties to educational institutions are essentially the potential loss of federal funding. The second issue addresses the question of what amounts to an education record under FERPA. Courts seem to favor schools by finding no education record when a document is questionable. However, courts require the release of information when an agency seeking to protect the student is requesting the information.

The strategic direction developed in that process can then be communicated in the form of a business plan to lenders, potential investors and associates within your company. The development of a strategic direction is a critical step for your company. It allows your business to leverage the knowledge and competence of its management team, staff and advisors to develop a strategic direction for the organization that will lead to its best chance for success. This gives you an opportunity to use the advising team you have put together. THE BUSINESS PLAN FORMAT Your business plan should include the following sections: a good business plan includes sections on (1) Title Page, (2) Table of Contents, (3) Executive Summary, (4) Business Description, (5) Management (6) Market and Business Analysis, (7) Business and Market Development, (8) Marketing and Sales, (9) Financial Data, (10) Application of Funds, and (11) an Appendix. In addition, it may take anywhere from two weeks to six months to complete the planning process. However, it is essential that you do this planning. After careful planning, you might find out that your dream business just will not work out financially. It is so much better to learn before you lose your million dollars that something will not work than to borrow money, put in your life savings and then go broke (losing everything you have worked for in the process).

Forensic accountants are in high demand because they play a critical role in an investigation of suspected financial scandals and misappropriation of assets. It is their job to bring independence and credibility to these investigations.
