Customer Rating: Summary: School Law Book Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Dull and Boring Comment: There must be an easier way to get the material. I'm looking for something else. Customer Rating: Summary: I think there are better books to use Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: How good can it be? Comment: ...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 Customer Rating: Summary: Well written about case subject Comment: 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.
