Argument #1
The Court should rule in favor of the state (Goss) in this case since a law existed which allowed the school to suspend students for up to ten days without a hearing. The school and its administrators cannot give a hearing prior to suspension because of the lack of time. The school is concerned with the safety and order of the school and needs to be able to keep students who violate the rules out of school after such a violation.

Argument #2
The Court should rule with the students (Lopez). By not providing the students with a hearing prior to their suspension they are being denied due process rights to attend school and receive an education.
