The author wrote this book in such a manner that a high school government student could understand the majority of the legal discussion and implications for school leaders.
Today's educator would be remiss not to read this down to earth text and not pay attention to its contents while working in today's educational environments where one is constantly exposed to being sued.
The author provides the reader with clear and understandable legal definitions, administrative summaries, landmark cases, and interesting legal situations that have occurred in public schools across the United States.
Classroom teachers, school principals, superintendents, school board members, and graduate students all come away with a sense of "I will not do that again" after reading this very practical school law guide.
While the book does not address school integration and school finance issues from a legal stance, it does an excellent job of addressing all other aspects of educational law.

As others have said, a good, simple overview. Case studies and questions were good, but since all of the cases are readily available online, the majority of these could be eliminated and just referenced. The price tag is hefty, and in this day in age, I would definately prefer an electronic version
