Education Malpractice And Student Litigation: Achieving Early Dismissal

This post is the third in our three-part series on recent legal authority addressing the educational malpractice doctrine. As we noted in prior posts, we are examining this authority through the lens of "lessons learned," and discussing methods for effectively using the education malpractice doctrine to defend against such claims. In this final edition, we consider how an institution of higher education might use the education malpractice doctrine to target extraneous claims with a motion to dismiss.
