This book covers school law in a clear and concise manner. The language is easily understood and should be on the desk of every teacher who is concerned about the welfare of children.
Rating: 5 / 5
I like this book very much because as the book says, it summarizes school law in a nutshell. I have found it very helpful to refer to while taking a school law class. It is any easy read compared to my school law text, and hits the main points of court decisions.
Rating: 5 / 5
This is a very practicle text for a survey school law course at the university level. I used the text with Masters candidates and supplemented the text with on-line comprehensive land-mark case law reviews.
I would use the text again.

This book has been a life saver as a resource book. I bought it for a course I had to take. The required book was by the same authors, only a lot more expensive since its hard cover, and more detailed. I got this book as an additional resource and have found it to be very helpful. It breaks down the ‘legal’ points into easy to understand (and remember) language. It still covers all the aspects of school law. It is easy to reference. The index and list of case studies that are referenced in the book is easy to follow. Basically, this has been a book that I could read and get the gist of the topic and an understanding of the legal cases that support the different laws. I can see myself keeping this book handy.

This nutshell has been very helpful for my education law class. It’s a little out-of-date for more recent Supreme Court cases, but it does a good job of highlighting major cases in each area we’ve covered.
