Not business as usual
I've always been perplexed by the fact that we run our meetings according to rules dreamed up by a military engineer more than 100 years ago.Maybe Roberts' arcane procedures about what can be discussed by whom and when worked once upon a time, but they don't make sense either in the modern business world or for making important policy decisions today.
Great tool for developing effective communication
This book has great value whether you are a business owner, politician or public agency staffer, an environmentalist, a facilitator, mediator or any other interested party.It provides a simple, concise and easy-to-understand review of the consensus building process.From a communication perspective, consensus building lends itself towards helping any party in a negotiation develop a greater understanding and wider range of solutions that may be available on any given issue.

Okay but you'll also want some study aids
Case books have a difficult time getting respect, because they have to include the opinions written by the different judges for the different cases.So, you're dealing with many, many writers, and unfortunately, judges aren't known for their entertaining, flowery prose.
Pretty Standard, Could Be Better
OK, it's a casebook.By definition it is just a bunch of cases thrown together to demonstrate various areas of the law.But lately there has been a new trend in books for 1Ls... analysis.Sure, this book has "Notes" sections between the cases, but they are little more than hypotheticals or one-line versions of even more cases.What about some essays?Talk about the logic behind the cases or maybe mix in some Law and Economics theory.As a generic casebook this is quite good, but adding a little more than just cases would be outstanding.

The old standard--but outdated
This book is still used a great deal in law schools, but there are better casebooks now with modern, more interesting cases and more thoughtful analysis.Instead, try Goldberg, Sebok and Zipursky, Tort Law: Responsibilities and Redress. ... Read more

For the Discriminating Only
I'm a training specialist by trade, and I have taught Sexual Harassment Prevention and Equal Employment Opportunity classes for many years. This book allowed me to appear as a subject matter expert because I was able to offer more depth in specific cases and topics. If you're discriminating about your sources, I know you will buy this.

Useful
I read this book in order to survive a law class.I also used it when I had an interview with the Office of Civil Rights.This book may feel cursory but it covers a large array of material.For those who are constantly suspicious about facing discrimination in the workplace, it may be especially enlightening.Though I gave my copy to a friend not involved in the law, I do worry about it being misused by laypeople.For example, you could be blatantly discriminated against, and this book may point to cases that reflect your own situation.However, if you missed a statute of limitations or your employer doesn't have a sizeable number of workers, etc., your case may be a loser.Still, filing with local anti-discrimination office is supposed to be free and of no prejudice to the worker.Since this summarizes the everyday law, it is not a cute, easy read.But it is useful. ...

Great reference for every educator and lawyer in education.
If I could have given this book 4 and a half stars I would have done so. The only complaint that I have about this tome is that many of the court cases that I am interested in are not printed in part or entirety in this book. I will have to go to the law library to get the rest of the information that I need. This book was not in my law classes, but rather in a class for school administrators. I am writing on and very interested in the legal history of education, and this was a great find for me. Not only does it give pertinent information about all educational law, but the specific references and legal issues are there for gender and race discrimination in schools, busing, special education, etc. Any teacher, researcher, or lawyer in this field cannot just pick up a book that is only on their area such as special education, because the full information is not there nor does it make sense out of context of legal history. In order to understand the reason why Congress and courts saw the need to coin a new law (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) rather than rely upon previous ammendments to other laws such as the Civil Rights Act and other education acts in the 1960's it is vital that the reader know the history and how those ammendments failed to guarantee educational rights for those with disabilities. This book is a vital reference that provides this information, the legal history, and it is well worth the money spent on it. Karen Sadler, Science Education, University of Pittsburgh ... Read more

Okay but lacking.
This book had a lot of helpful facts about LLCs, but no guidance really in forming one, or whether you should form an LLC or corporation. The state-by-state appendix of laws and contact information hadn't been updated since 1997. The sample operating agreement was not on the disk, so you couldn't tailor it and use it for your company.

Could be better
The book was decent, although a bit generic - no particular insights provided. The discussion of the terms of an LLC Operating Agreement could be a lot more detailed.

I finished with more questions than answers.
I am on an endless quest, it seems; to find a book on the administrative state that is informative while being at least mildly enthusiastic about its subject. This book starts out enthusiastic. This book certainly started with enthusiasm. The first chapter, in fact, is devoted to convincing us why the administrative state is a superb American invention (a view I do not always share!) Chapter 5, which is devoted to public participation in the Admin. state also bubbles with giddiness.Read more
