Now in its third edition, this book reflects the extraordinary growth in 'the law of higher education' and the accompanying rise in scholarship and commentary on higher education law and governance. The case selection reflects major themes and issues. To this end, cases with interesting facts but less precedential value, news accounts of fascinating developments, and insights and articles from scholars and practitioners have also been used. The result is a unique book on a rapidly growing area of law and society.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Despite Professor Olivas's caution about making comparisons between this work and the acknowledged standard treatise in the field (William Kaplin's Law and Higher Education), these two volumes should be viewed by attorneys, academicians, and administrators as complementary. Unlike a treatise, the Olivas casebook gives the reader a comprehensive array of cases and court decisions on these subjects. Professor Olivas writes overviews to provide contextual detail and history.... [Chapter 2 is] an excellent example of the prudent use of cases... [Chapter 3] contains a panoply of material taken from a variety of sources about fascinating episodes, disputes, and court cases... This is rich material.... --Bimonthly Review of Law Books, review of the first edition
The Law and Higher Education . . . has become not merely a reference, but an archive in its own right. --Scott Chafin, Media Reviews, review of the second edition
[T]he author's sense of humor, knowledge of popular culture, and breadth of knowledge about higher education come out clearly and loudly. Olivas is an attorney who knows both administrative practice and the law and is effectively able to pass that knowledge on to his readers. --NASPA Journal, 2007, Vol. 44, No. 4

2.0 out of 5 stars
not very useful and redundant,
By R Smith "R Smith" (chicago, il) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Law And Higher Education: Cases And Materials on Colleges in Court Third Edition (Hardcover)
As a practitioner, I did not find this book very useful. All the author did was copy and paste a bunch of cases into one book and organize them into specific categories, cases that can be found on your own in many free and on-line databases. It might be a good reference for faculty (or friends/colleagues of the author who will require graduate students to read it), but its practical value is minimal. If you must have this book, as an alternative I suggest printing off the table of contents and index and then use them as a guide for printing off cases on-line when you need them.
If you do encounter legal issues on a regular basis, I strongly recommend Kaplin and Lee's Law of Higher Education book as a method for giving you the background you need and its use as a reference.
