RALEIGH, N.C. – Campbell Law Assistant Professor Lisa Lukasik presented at the 64th annual Conference on Exceptional Children on Tuesday, Nov. 4 in Greensboro, North Carolina. Lukasik’s presentation, “Special Education Litigation in North Carolina by the Numbers,” offered an overview of data drawn from a 12-year study of the state’s published Administrative Law Judge and State Hearing Review Officer decisions in special education cases.
“It has been a privilege to collaborate with Campbell Law students, Laura Beacham, Ashley Stallings, James Seay, Katherine Reason, and Lillie Seifart, on this research, and it was an honor to present it at the state’s largest gathering of special education professionals, families of children with disabilities, administrative law judges, and review officers,” said Lukasik.

Earlier this year, she presented at the North Carolina Council for Exceptional Children’s annual conference and at the UNC School of Government’s annual School Attorney’s Conference.
