Employment Law for business
As an attorney, manager, and teacher of human resources professionals, I recommend this book. I found that thie information was thoroughly researched. I also appreciated that the legal information was presented in a business context so that managers who are not lawyers could understand the information and readily appy it to real life workplace problems.

ok, not great
I liked this law book because it has shorter versons of cases for quick lookup. What I hate about this book is that it doesn't list laws like ADA, Title VII, etc. in their entirety. It speaks about parts of them, but doesn't list them for you to read yourself.

Good book for in the class and in the office, February 14, 2003
This book gives a good comprehensive look at the mountain of law and regulations encountering employees in both the public and private sector. The examples in the beginning of each chapter are very useful as well as the actual cases used to exemplify how the law has been applied to real-world situations.

Very good textbook for an introduction to employment law, July 9, 2008
A number of reviews of this book are unfairly critical. Reviewers who criticize it on the basis of being too "liberal" or "anti-management" seem to be missing an obvious point. Regulating the employment environment is an inherently liberal idea, designed to protect "common" workers at the expense of the organization and its representatives. Whether you like this system or not is irrelevant; this is the way that employment law in the US currently exists, and the book describes it accurately without any more "bias" than any other book on the topic.
As for the flow and writing, the authors do throw a lot of terminology at the reader in the first few chapters, but this is unavoidable when trying to translate an advanced legal topic for an audience without any legal training. Despite this challenge, the writing and explanations are very clear, and many difficult concepts are illustrated with EXCELLENT case studies and snippets from opinions. I find that students sometimes have trouble with the layout of the book because it is not organized by laws and statutes, but rather by legal concepts and case types that sometimes cut across multiple laws and statutes. Consequently, issues discussed several chapters back do "pop up" again seemingly out of the blue. However, this structure is actually a major strength as the reader can easily find everything about a topic (e.g., gender discrimination) in one place without having to hunt statute-by-statute through the book to find the applicable content.
In short, a great introduction for someone new to employment law, and definitely the book to use if teaching a course on this topic.

Great book for the non-lawyers in business, February 18, 2010
This review is from: Employment Law for Business (Hardcover)
This was my first exposure to employment law, so to speak, and this book is presented in a very easy to read manner for those of us who are not lawyers or studying to be lawyers. There are good case studies at the end to enhance one's understanding of how various elements of the Title VII laws are applied. I found it quite useful during my master's program.

Not useful for me, September 23, 2009
I was using the book for an Employment Law class and I found it difficult to work with - no in depth details on subject matter. Many cases and actual examples but I had to go elsewhere for the basic nuts and bolts of the subject. This book would better serve someone who is in pre-law because of the actual cases and examples. As a business management major, I don't believe it will be one I would refer back to for any reason.
