Oustanding School Law Book

I got this book for my graduate class on School Law. At first, it was VERY intimidating as it was filled with lots of legal jargon and so on, but the book did a good job of making it fairly "easy" to read. (Though I do admit I've slept on the book a few times...) It is well organized by different sections, and the cases as well as their significance are explained clearly. I liked that it presented very straightforward information, with little slant/bias one way or another, leaving it up to the reader to make up their minds. While I was not required to read the book cover to cover for my class, I have tried to do so because I found the information pertinent and informative. It is a great reference, and definitely a book that I'll keep getting as new editions come out.

Very satisfied

I purchased this book for a graduate class. I am very satisfied with it and the shipping was very fast.

Almost Painless Public School Law

This Sixth Edition of American Public School Law is a comprehensive treatment of noteworthy public school case law that also serves to outline the history of our country. It's user friendly, while not lowering the bar for comprehension. Legal lingo is left intact, but translations are offered for those of us who are reading it for School Law classes, as opposed to Law School classes. There's a useful glossary, and a handy index for locating specific topics, and the cases that illustrate them. This is a book you'll want to keep.

Public School Court Cases

I ordered the book for my graduate class. It contains landmark court cases and rulings dealing with public school issues in all U.S. states. It is a great source for public school administrators and basically an easy read for those who have never had a law class.
