During the pandemic, educational institutions struggle to adjust and make decisions that affect their students for the rest of their lives. K Altman Law is here to ensure that the changes they are making are legal. K-12 Schools, colleges, and universities use technology in ways they had not previously. These changes have proven challenging for the students to navigate because it often seems that the teachers and professors need time to get up to speed and organized. If your academic standing has suffered or you face disciplinary action, seek counsel now. If the school asks you to write a statement -wait. If you have a hearing scheduled – stop. Ask an education professional before going forward.

Prisoners’ rights in the United States were so crucial to the country’s founders that they embedded them into the early amendments of The Constitution. This most sacred government document added the Eighth Amendment in 1791. The Amendment, part of the Bill of Rights, states, “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” These words, adapted from the English Bill of Rights, spell out protections for pretrial and post-trial treatment of the accused.
