Originally derived from British common law <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law> , it is applied in two separate areas of the law. First, it allows institutions such as colleges and schools to act in the best interests of the students <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student> as they see fit, although not allowing what would be considered violations of the students' civil liberties <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_liberties> .[1] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loco_parentis#cite_note-law.com-0> Second, this doctrine can provide a non-biological parent to be given the legal rights and responsibilities of a biological parent if they have held themselves out as the parent. [2] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loco_parentis#cite_note-1> The in loco parentis doctrine is distinct from the doctrine of parens patriae, the psychological parent doctrine, and adoption.[3] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loco_parentis#cite_note-2> In the United States, the parental liberty doctrine imposes constraints upon the operation of the in loco parentis doctrine.[4] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loco_parentis#cite_note-3> -------------- Original message from "Oliver Barry" <[email protected]>: -------------- Jerry, Can you sum up just what in loco parentis means?

Jerry From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Rice Sent: Monday, June 29, 2009 11:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [gatortalk] Re: FW: [gatornews] [SUN]: UF Campus News: UF's helmet policy focuses on Just one (& only one) comment regarding the helmet law/edict/proposal that UF is instituting/instigating/infuriating: Did it ever occur to any of us (save me – of all?) that since a large portion of students have recently left their parents’ direct supervision, UF is extending the in loco parentis rule that covers elementary & secondary education to the collegiate arena? It seems that how litigious society has become, if UF at least implements the helmet rule, then parents would be less liable to try to sue the university in the case that a severe accident would happen to their child who happens to be out of their direct supervision. Just another point to ponder. Geez. This phys. ed. teacher has entirely too much time on his hands! Let’s see: Phys. ed. teachers’ conference in 2 weeks, coaching association convention in 3 weeks, football practice in 6 weeks. That means school (for me) starts in 7.
