Employment Law and Employment Discrimination: Essential Terms and Concepts

I used this book in law school and continue to use it in my employment law practice. It is an essential for any employment lawyer's library!

As a current student of Professor White's I may be a bit biased. Regardless of that, however, this book truly is excellent for the law student looking to grasp the employment and employment discrimination law fields, the practitioner looking to update his knowledge, or the layperson seeking to gain an understanding of two extremely important topics. There are tons of examples in every chapter to help you apply the concepts she teaches you as you read the book. It is very clearly written, and it simplifies and clarifies even the hardest of concepts.

Rebecca Hanner White provides a clear and concise overview of labor and employment law terms and concepts, ranging from traditional employment law principles to those developed under modern, federal statutory employment discrimination law. This handbook is appropriate and valuable for everybody - from legal practitioners to college and law students to individuals wishing to understand more about the legal framework for employment in the United States. Everybody should read and review it for both general understanding and as a starting point for more focused study. This book is a jewel of a find!
