- Employer Lessons and Employee Lessons (each chapter includes listings of key issues employers and employees should consider)
- Case summaries and case questions (each case begins with a presentation of the legal issue at hand, and each is followed by a summary and questions)

Pretty Good Book,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Employment Law (4th Edition) (Hardcover)
This book is just OK. It's definitely written from/for an HR person, not a law student, although it's absolutely full of cases which makes it a bit difficult to read. The general approach is to present a topic and then give real case examples. The topic information is often, in my opinion, a bit short and could be easily expanded to explain the critical points the cases are trying to enforce / develop. The cases themselves make the book long and difficult to read, mostly because you have to read the back story and legal argument to get to the reason why it was included in a particular chapter. Also, I do find it a bit preachy... summaries and quick examples often tell you not just about the law, but about how certain things are morally right and wrong. If this is for a class, you're stuck.. if you want a good HR / Law book, you might want to try another book.

It's Okay,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Employment Law (4th Edition) (Hardcover)
The seller over stated the condition of this book, the seller stated "it almost new", the book was used and very shabby, the sellers should be honest about the conditions of products that are sold.

Employment Law (5th Ed.),
By MICHAEL F LUTZ (EL CAJON, CA, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Employment Law (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
One of the best textbooks I've even gotten. I'm actually sad to part with it becuase it's got a TON of useful information that I know I'm going to wish I had to refer back to in the future. Otherwise it's written and laid out very straight-forward and easy to read. A+++++
