5 out of 5 stars A must for every teacher.   March 6, 1999
11 out of 11 found this review helpful

This book covers school law in a clear and concise manner. The language is easily understood and should be on the desk of every teacher who is concerned about the welfare of children.


5 out of 5 stars This is a very good book about school law.   March 7, 1998

I like this book very much because as the book says, it summarizes school law in a nutshell. I have found it very helpful to refer to while taking a school law class. It is any easy read compared to my school law text, and hits the main points of court decisions.


5 out of 5 stars An Excellent Resource--School Law in a Nut Shell   August 29, 2009
C. Carrick (Cleveland, TN United States)
They've done it again! This is an excellent reference to use with a general survey school law course. It covers the high points in easy to understand language. The price is right too. I have used earlier editions for several years and I am very happy that an updated version is available. The earlier editions were very popular with my master's students and I expect this edition to be as well.

5 out of 5 stars Great book   February 7, 2010
Student
This book has been a life saver as a resource book. I bought it for a course I had to take. The required book was by the same authors, only a lot more expensive since its hard cover, and more detailed. I got this book as an additional resource and have found it to be very helpful. It breaks down the 'legal' points into easy to understand (and remember) language. It still covers all the aspects of school law. It is easy to reference. The index and list of case studies that are referenced in the book is easy to follow. Basically, this has been a book that I could read and get the gist of the topic and an understanding of the legal cases that support the different laws. I can see myself keeping this book handy.
