Great book for the non-lawyers in business

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.

Very good textbook for an introduction to employment law

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.

Very good text

This textbook is filleed with a wealth of information. I would recommend this text boook for anyone studying employment law. The cases included in this are very helpful in understanding the issues of employment law in the workplace.

Fast shipping

The item actually came before the delivery estimate date. I paid 2nd day service for it and pleased with the fast shipping!

Good book for in the class and in the office

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.
