I think there are better books to use
This book is not for the person just getting an intiation into school law.It is too condense and only gives blurbs of the verdicts in each case by quoting the appellate and US supreme court judges which are oft times convoluted, the author leaves out an indepth explanation of the nuts and bolts.I refer to this book as the Reader's Digest version of school law.Also, the print is microscopic which is really hard on the eyes.

How good can it be?
...The book is well-written and contains important informationrelevant to school personnel, but it does not come in a titanium coverwith gold leaf pages.Can a student get a break?END

Well written about case subject

Excellent - Best Contracts Supplement Out There
This review is for Emanuel's outline, not Crunch Time (though Crunch Time for Contracts is also excellent). This is the best Contracts supplement out there and probably the best Emanuel's outline as well (rival = Emanuel's on Con Law). VERY thorough (almost like a hornbook in this respect). This is what you need for Contracts. Someone sent me this by accident after I had been using Gilberts for a few months. I thought I didn't want it because I already had Gilberts and some other supplements, so I put it on the backburner for awhile while I used Gilberts. Then I started taking a look at it once every so often when I was still confused after reading Gilberts (and other stuff). I started to realize that this book was much better than Gilberts, so I put Gilberts on the backburner. (Gilberts is good, but this book is much more thorough and just better overall.) One of the most necessary law school supplements.

very solid supplement
I bought this outline and also Gilbert's contracts outline, and this one was better in several important ways.One that sticks out in my mind is UCC provision 2-207, which relates to "battle of the forms," which is one of the most difficult topics to master in Contracts.While the surface-level issues may be apparent to everyone, the more subtle implications are not covered well in Gilbert's or in the official comments in the UCC (despite substantial text).If you don't know 2-207 extremely well going into your final, you should be worried at a minimum.Emanuel's treatment of this and most other topics is quite good, and it is consistently better than Gilbert's for Contracts.

good overview
I like the Emanuel Outline because it spells out the rules for you and what you need to know.I read the cases, then go back and read the section it relates to - its really helpful for class if you get called on, and for preparing an outline.I have tried 2 other types of study guides - I find I like this format the best. ...

Great Book By A Great Teacher
Gerry Beyer was my "Wills and Trusts" professor in law school.He was my favorite teacher, and the favorite of many of my fellow law students, for several reasons:first of all, he had an excellent command of the law.There wasn't an aspect of it he didn't know.Secondly, he taught in a clear and concise manner.Many of my law professors were "hide-the-ball" types:their clumsy use of the Socratic method left students lost and confused.When Professor Beyer lectured, you knew exactly what point he was trying to make.You didn't have to guess at it.Finally, he was a warm, friendly, humorous guy - very approachable and not at all intimidating, a rare trait in a lawyer.This book is everything Professor Beyer is: knowledgeable, approachable, and clear.And as a rookie attorney in the field of wills, trusts, and estate planning, this is the book I turn to first and foremost as a reference.That said, I believe this book is most appropriate for law students, paralegals, practicing attorneys, and others who need a serious grasp of wills, trusts, and estate planning law.Those who want a simple, cursory introduction may find themselves overwhelmed by all the legal jargon - as was mentioned by a previous reviewer.

explanatory but too much jargon
it's a good book but youshould keep in hand a law dictionary. ... Read more

Great intro to law text
As an MBA student, this text was a great introduction to business law.The actual cases proved to be quite interesting and illustrative of the topics discussed throughout the text.You must go through the text before reading the cases or you may be confused, but the terms are so well laid out that once familiar with them, the cases are quite easy to understand and you are able to brief them yourself!Will serve as an excellent reference and I have decided to keep it in my library.

Excellent!!!
I could not be happy with the speed and condition of this item.I am very pleased with the purchase that I made, and look forward to doing business with them if needed.Thank you for the wonderful, and speedy service.

Great Introductory Business Law Text!
Unlike the previous post, I found this book to be extremely helpful as a business student. If one is looking for a strictly "law" book this is obviously not the correct choice. For business professionals and students, however, it is an excellent introduction to the field of business law. The cases are in fact quite helpful and are not too long as stated in the previous post. The "briefs" provide a good insight into the heart of the issue at hand and are quite useful. They are much better than fabricated examples, as they are up to date, and add a 'reality' element to the text.

GIAN FIERO ON KOHN ON MUSIC LICENSING
Simply put: This is the bible of music licensing. It's not as cheap as the bible and you don't have a prayer of finding it much cheaper than the used versions that someone foolishly gives up on Amazon, but regardless of the price, it's worth every penny. If you want to truly understand the mechanics, logistics, and legalities of music licensing, learn it from the authority who was sorting out licensing issues concerning the Internet and digital distribution over 10 years ago - before it became a "hot" topic.

A valuable tool, and totally unknown to many who'd benefit
I discovered this book when I was researching an article "Who owns the rights? Copyright, the law and licensing the show," which was published in the Summer 1999 issue of the Educational Theatre Associationquarterly Teaching Theatre (Volume 10, Number 4) and which is now availableonline (though the reviewer guidelines do not allow me to post the URL, soanyone interested will have to email me at knscott@juno.com for it). Kohnon Music Licensing is a most valuable resource for anyone who either doesmusical theatre, or uses music in theatrical production, since it makesclear aspects of musical licensing that I am sure are as mysterious to manyothers as they were to me before reading this book. In my opinion, everytheatre educator or community theater producer/director should read bothChapter 18, "The Grand Rights Controversy", and Chapter 14,"Synchronization Licenses," before producing another musical (or excerptfrom one) or using any copyright-protected music "dramatically"(a term defined in the book) in the production of any play. AND the authorsmaintain a Website to which readers can bring any question still unclearafter reading the book.

The Bible of Music Copyrighting
This is the Bible of music copyrighting and licensing.With the coming of age of the Internet, transferring copywritten information online will become increasingly in the spot light and this book makes sense of it. ... Read more

Good Introduction to Business Law
This was the textbook for an introductory course in business law I took. It does a great job at laying the groundwork of the US legal system and explodes many common myths. A large amount of material is covered clearly and consisely. The chapters on contracts and constitutional law alone are worth the price of the book. The authors do a good job hitting the high points and not getting bogged down in details that are inappropriate for an introductory course.
Legal & Regulatory Environment of Business
Great Book. Better than the other Legal Business books. Great cases. Easy to read and understand. Great for Business law. Other books are more about law instead of business law, Not this book. You be the Judge DVD-Rom is great similation of legal business situations. Book is great for learning Business Law.

Informative, enlightening, and well-organized.
Like many Americans, I didn't know much about our country's principles of government or its legal system.This book helped me to become more knowledgeable about both.I admit, this is not reading I would choose to curl up with in front of the fire; this was part of a requirement for my MBA.However, I will remember what I've learned in this text long after my class ends. Having previously been clueless about the legal system, it is now exhilarating to read about, say, how the nine US Supreme Court Justices are dealing with the aftermath of the Gore vs. Bush debacle and actually understand what is going on.The chapters are well-organized and easy to understand. There are even helpful study tips and ways to brief a legal case in the beginning of the text.After completing this book, I not only feel better equipped to handle business decisions, but also feel empowered and enlightened for better understanding our great country. ...

Excellent resource, but guidance was helpful
Teachers and the Law (6th Edition) was the primary text used for my National-Louis University (Wheeling, IL) School Law course. Although the text implies that only information regarding teachers will be discussed, Fischer actually covers legal issues that deal with many levels of educational law including student cases, administrator cases, and even cases that don't involve teachers at all, but loosely relate to educational law in general.
Teachers and the Law
I received the book in good shape.The cover looked next to new and there were very little marks or highlights in the text.

A Must Read for Teachers
Case law, unless done perhaps by the likes of John Grissam, is not page turning material.However, the authors have done an incredible job of putting very pressing and often complex areas into an accessible and engaging book.Written in an easy to use question and answer format, the updated book touches on education legal issues ranging from free speech, to students with disabilities, to internet issues.While of great use for educator (or educators to be), the book could also easily be adapted for classroom use, either as a debate or research starter.Worth every penny of its price. ...

Nice and Simple
This book was nice and simple.A good summary of what you need to know.The section on agency was great.I think he got a little carried away in the partnerships section when he compared RUPA and UPA.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants a comprehensive summary of the law of agency, partnerships, and unincorporated entities. ...

Worst E&E Book Out There
This is easily the worst book in the E&E series.

Not bad, but the worst of the series
I've read 11 or so of the Examples and Explanations books while in Law School.For the most part, the series is great.The material is broken down into sections that make sense and the important points are made and remade with the examples.
Highly recommended
The questions and explanations in this book are clear and very helpful. They are organized in a logical fashion and help you work progressively through problems in Article 9 transactions. ... Read more
