What School Lawyers Say About COSA
“COSA gives me access to up-to-date school law resources and a nationwide network of thought leaders where I can brainstorm ideas, learn best practices, and fellowship with other education lawyers.” – Santana T. Flanigan, General Counsel, Rockdale County Public Schools
“COSA has helped me a lot both personally and professionally because I meet so many great attorneys where in other forums, I may feel like I’m one of a very few, one of a very small group. COSA has really brought together that sense of community and also the idea that there are other people that I can reach out to and rely on to help me through some of the questions that I have.” – Erin Gilsbach, Attorney, Steckel and Stopp
