2.0 out of 5 stars
Not very good, but the only thing out there,
By
This review is from: Employment Law in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series) (Paperback)
This book, like most of the other nutshells I've read, is not particularly helpful. The organization is confusing, and not enough attention is devoted to major topics, as the format is primarily just a recitation of cases. A study guide is supposed to provide a concise synopsis of the law, not merely throw a bunch of conflicting cases at the reader. Steven Emanuel has the market for law school study aides cornered, with the Examples & Explanations series a distant second. Unfortunately, this is the only major study guide that exists for employment law. Thanks to Rothstein's worthless and maddening casebook, learning employment law is neither interesting nor fun. This nutshell will provide some relief, but not much.

This book is very good for those interested in employment law but who are not professionals in the field. I have recommended this book to my clients who are looking to improve their knowledge of employment law.
