This review is from: School Law for the Teachers: Concepts and Applications (Paperback)

The book covers many areas of educational law but sacrifice detail and specific provisions of the law educators need to be knowledgeable of. Underwood and Webb give a very entry level knowledge to the readers over a wide range of topics. There was little information on how these laws pertained to public v. private schools especially in the area of IDEA and other aspects of special education. I would recommend Law in the Schools by William and Christina Valente. Its a deep and meaty source for educational law.
