The Law Of Higher Education

Online Casebook

This online casebook is designed to accompany The Law of Higher Education (LHE) by Dennis Farringdon and David Palfreyman, Oxford University Press.

The great majority of cases cited in LHE can be accessed through this casebook, which mirrors the LHE format. The casebook is designed to be used in conjunction with the LHE text, which puts the cases in context, explaining their relevance to the overall higher education law landscape.
