Education Law encompasses unique legal issues around admissions, student discipline and appeals, collegial governance, tenure, academic freedom, labour and employment, human rights and accommodation, research ethics, and educational policy. Education Law also includes distinctive aspects of intellectual property, charity and taxation law, real estate, administrative law, financing, and constitutional law.

An Education Law lawyer may represent educational institutions and/or organizations related to educational institutions, including education foundations, research centres, and other subsidiary organizations.
