Review (PDF) School Law: Cases And Concepts (Allyn & Bacon Educational Leadership)
An engaging, case-based approach to the most up-to-date legal topics gives educators a basic understanding of the legal aspects of their work. This text introduces K-12 educators to a body of school law that will help them to conduct themselves in a legally defensible manner. A balance of case law, statutory law, constitutional provisions, and analytical commentary, this vital book covers a wide range of topics including: sources of law under which educators operate; legal restraints to state action in K-12 education; legal rights and restrictions applicable to students and teachers; law pertaining to persons with disabilities; and liability for damages as a result of official action or inaction. In addition, broad legal concepts such as due process, equal protection, freedom of expression, the wall separating church and state, and reasonable search are analyzed to assist professional educators in gaining a better understanding of the legal landscape in which they operate. The entire text is written in a clear, engaging style appropriate for those who do not have extensive legal backgrounds.

Good resource for my educational law class. The author has done a good job of keeping the case analyses succinct and understandable, makes them accessible for the lay person who needs to understands precedents to our current laws.
I had to purchase this book for a School Law class I was taking for my graduate degree. Although we were only required to read a certain chapter to present, I found myself reading more than the required- especially after hearing presentations each week. This book gives snid-bits of court cases for various categories.. it definitely explains why some things are the way they are in schools. Most the cases are from pretty old, so my one critique is that I wish it had more recent cases since education has changed so much over time.
It's a textbook that you get assigned to read for class, so you probably aren't ordering it for pleasurable reading. Having said that, the book is very well written, easy to read, and understand. I found it very informative.
I purchased this text because it was required for class but I intend to keep it as a reference. It is easy to find the needed cases in the text. The most important cases that have affected school law are included. This is a must for any school administrator.
I do not like the Kindle version of this book. This is my first time using a text book in Kindle format and will be my last!!! E-books have been great for me, but I am not able to scroll through pages easily and navigate. Very disappointed.
Required for school law class. Interesting to read but at times difficult to understand. If I was a law student I would have probably been more familiar with the jargon and understood it, but being in education, it would have been helpful to have been written with the audience of the teacher in mind. I had to look up some cases just to find out the outcome of the case since it wasn't written in such a way that seemed obvious.
This was fine for class. I used the internet to research more contemporary cases and changes to past rulings. This is a must have for every Day Care Director, Private School Principal and Public School Administrator.
This book arrived promptly and looks brand new. There is no writing or highlighting. Not even sure it was previously read.
