Editorial Reviews
Review
"I have practiced labor and employment law for over twenty years and I think this is the best text for a basic labor and employment law class… It's simple to read and straightforward. I tell my students to keep the book and not sell it because it is quite helpful for the basic questions they will be asked in the work world."
"The text is well laid-out, and is written in language that is appropriate for the students; there is no reason for the students to not read the text. The questions that follow the edited cases help to focus the student's analysis of the case in question, its relevance to the topic, and introduce the student to legal concepts and outcomes they tend to neglect or may not fully understand..."
"Excellent balance of in-depth case-law readings, related ethical considerations, Internet resources, and foundational materials for the non-lawyer audience." --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Worth it or Bust it!,
By
This review is from: Employment and Labor Law (Hardcover)
This book is very well written, with solid legal definitions, along with additional case examples to show recent court rulings. I however feel the price paid for this book is a tad bit to steep! I have paid less for other labor books that are equal to the quality shown forth in this book. There is nothign so profound or so unique to justify such a expensive price.

Great Legal Handbook,
By Ty Hyderally "Ty Hyderally" (Kinnelon, NJ, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Employment and Labor Law (Hardcover)
This is a great book regarding employment law. Not only is it very well written, it is very easy to follow. I like that there are several examples of cases regarding employment law and also lists of current rulings. This is very helpful! It is certainly a recommendation for laymen and lawyers alike.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Best text book I've ever read ... ever.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Employment and Labor Law (Hardcover)
Let's face it, most text books are written 8x longer than they should be, and seem more like the author is trying to show off their vocabulary as opposed to teach the reader something. This book kept my interest from the front page to the last. It will be one of the few text books I keep!
