Dr. David C. Young is an associate professor in the Faculty of Education at St Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, where he also serves as the chair of the Department of Curriculum and Leadership. His research is focused on the broad topic of educational administration and policy. More particularly, his current writing deals with issues pertaining to law and education. Brenda Bowlby was a member of Hicks Morley, an employment, labour, and education law firm, until she retired from the partnership in 2015 after 33 years. Among the cases she has argued is Eaton v Brant County Board of Education (starting with the Special Education Tribunal of Ontario and concluding in the Supreme Court of Canada), which remains Canada's leading case on special education law. Nora M Findlay, PhD, has recently retired after serving more than twentyfive years as an educator and school-based administrator in Saskatchewan. She is a recipient of a SSHRC (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council) doctoral fellowship and a CAPSLE (Canadian Association for the Practical Study of Law in Education) fellowship. She has also received a High Commendation Award from the UCEA (University Council for Educational Administration) Centre for the Study of Leadership and Ethics for her doctoral dissertation. Nora has published in a number of periodicals, including the Education & Law Journal and Educational Administration Quarterly, contributed policy analyses to CAPSLE Comments, and co-authored several book chapters on education law. Her scholarly interests include school law, student rights, school safety, Indigenous education, educational administration, and school leadership. Frank Peters came to Canada as a teacher. He initially taught in northern Alberta in Fort Chipewyan and later served as a principal with Fort McMurray Catholic Schools. A faculty member at the University of Alberta for over three decades, he served in such roles as associate dean in the Faculty of Education and associate chair and graduate coordinator in the Department of Educational Policy Studies until retiring in 2014. His major areas of expertise relate to educational governance and education and law. He has also taught courses in both the theory and practice of educational leadership and educational change. For almost twenty years he coordinated a required course he co-developed in the bachelor of education degree program dealing with ethics and law in education. He has been privileged to supervise about twenty-five doctoral students. Among his ongoing interests are the challenges teachers will face in dealing with increasingly diverse classrooms in a context of limited resources and greater demands for ""tangible"" results.
