Almost Painless Public School Law,
By Scout "Life Long Learner" (California) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: American Public School Law (Hardcover)
This Sixth Edition of American Public School Law is a comprehensive treatment of noteworthy public school case law that also serves to outline the history of our country. It's user friendly, while not lowering the bar for comprehension. Legal lingo is left intact, but translations are offered for those of us who are reading it for School Law classes, as opposed to Law School classes. There's a useful glossary, and a handy index for locating specific topics, and the cases that illustrate them. This is a book you'll want to keep.

Public School Court Cases,
By
This review is from: American Public School Law (Hardcover)
I ordered the book for my graduate class. It contains landmark court cases and rulings dealing with public school issues in all U.S. states. It is a great source for public school administrators and basically an easy read for those who have never had a law class.

School law,
This review is from: American Public School Law (Hardcover)
The book is great for administrators who need to learn about school law. The book can at times be confusing. There should be additional reviews of the cases involved in the chapters.
