Mark Lupe, General Counsel, Edison State College, has been named Vice Chair of the Florida Bar Education Law Committee. His term begins July 1 and continues through June 30, 2015.

“Mark brings a wealth of expertise in education law, and his contributions to this committee will only be enhanced in a leadership role,” said Dr. Jeff Allbritten, President, Edison State College. “This is an important committee whose thoughtful consideration of current and future laws can greatly impact our state’s education system,”

The Florida Bar website states that “the scope and function of the Education Law Committee is to bring together education law attorneys, as well as other attorneys that practice in education law-related areas, to review existing areas of education law, to study recent developments in this specialized area of practice of the law, and to keep the members of the bar informed of significant developments in this practice area. The Committee takes an active role in communicating and articulating legislative changes, publishes a journal (newsletter), and holds a regular annual seminar addressing education law issues.

The Committee brings together attorneys that practice education law in public and private universities, four-year colleges, community colleges, public and private schools, charter schools, deregulated schools, and other education law-related areas. The synergetic strength of the Committee will be a cross representation from all levels of education, public and private, and include attorneys that represent and/or defend actions in these arenas.”
