| Summary: | The Federal courts, state legislatures, local districts, and building administrators, as well as professional associations, have given a great deal of attention in recent years to the legal implications involved in helping others. Because the laws regarding counseling practices vary so much from state to state, a discussion of specific legal guidelines to which all counselors should adhere is not possible. However, certain legal principles have been established which should be part of the basic knowledge of any professional in the helping services. This publication seeks to heighten the awareness of counselors as to the legal implications of what they do. The major areas of focus include: (1) the constitutional principles of due process and other student rights; (2) the principles of confidentiality and privacy rights; (3) the guiding principles of an ethical code and (4) the counselor's dilemma in serving the often conflicting demands of students, parents and the system.
