FOR EXAMPLE:

A Student Was Assaulted in School, Is the School Liable?

Click On “Education-School Law” in the Drop-Down Menu;

A Single Search for the Keyword “Assault” Will Pick Up Most of the Cases;

Searches for Other Keywords May Find More Cases, Words Like “Attack” “Bullied” “Punch” “Fight” “Shove” “Push” “Harass” “Gym” “Recess” etc.;
