This book was required for a college class I was taking. This was the exact book I needed. There were no marks or underlines in the book and it was in brand new condition. I am very happy with my purchase!
The book covers many areas of educational law but sacrifice detail and specific provisions of the law educators need to be knowledgeable of. Underwood and Webb give a very entry level knowledge to the readers over a wide range of topics. There was little information on how these laws pertained to public v. private schools especially in the area of IDEA and other aspects of special education. I would recommend Law in the Schools by William and Christina Valente. Its a deep and meaty source for educational law.
Easy to read and understand. I hadn't studied educational law before I used this book for a class, and it was a good choice. I didn't find myself drowning in legalese.
This was used in our School Law for Educators Masters course. It was so much easier to read than a regular law textbook. However, it does lack a glossary.
