I had to purchase this book for a School Law class I was taking for my graduate degree. Although we were only required to read a certain chapter to present, I found myself reading more than the required- especially after hearing presentations each week. This book gives snid-bits of court cases for various categories.. it definitely explains why some things are the way they are in schools. Most the cases are from pretty old, so my one critique is that I wish it had more recent cases since education has changed so much over time.

I had to get this book for class and I actually found it interesting. It is case after case of situations and how school law applies in the cases.

I found the book to be affordable (compared to the price of a new text) and it has been very useful in my graduate class. It also arrived within a very reasonable amount of time.

This book is not for the person just getting an intiation into school law. It is too condense and only gives blurbs of the verdicts in each case by quoting the appellate and US supreme court judges which are oft times convoluted, the author leaves out an indepth explanation of the nuts and bolts. I refer to this book as the Reader's Digest version of school law. Also, the print is microscopic which is really hard on the eyes.

The book was the cheapest I could find on the internet (with some very other high prices out there), and it was delivered promptly.

This book is very resourceful and up to date on school law nationwide, especially in New Jersey.

This was the first time I had purchased a text book online and I am happy to say that I will order again through Amazon becuase I am so happy with the book that I received.

...The book is well-written and contains important informationrelevant to school personnel, but it does not come in a titanium coverwith gold leaf pages. Can a student get a break? END

Judging from the spelling and punctuation in the previous comments, they must have been made by teachers.

God help our kids...

Law book need to be understood by the lay person that is not a lawyer, but those that are in some type of law need to be able to understand the law, an be able understand the common law.
