We are excited to introduce a new blog that will be all about education law in the State of Florida. It is called the FLEDLAW Blog. At the Woodring Law Firm education law is one of our primary areas of practice but, we don’t blog about this area of practice on our main website So, we decided to create a format that would focus on cutting-edge education law topics either in Florida, or topics from around the country that have a Florida impact. And here we are. We hope you enjoy this blog as it develops. And, if you know of any good stories that we should post on this blog, please send us an email at info@woodringlawfirm.com. Thank you.
