ONE WORD: OUTSTANDING
The best book on sports and law I have ever read. Michael Jones has truly outdone himself and is a great compliment to the world of education.His approach covers every aspect of sports and the law.This is pretty hard todo considering that sports change everyday and so do the storiessurrounding them.I feel that I have a true understanding of how athleticsoperate; not just in this country, but globally!Good Job!

Finally, the layout of the book is superb: the index is comprehensive(another plus for students) and each chapter highlights thought provokingconsiderations of key points.Kudos to Michael Jones!

a must have
Concise review of medical legal issues facing physcians today. Most complete guide to understanding medical legal processes
This book is one a kind...it offers the most clear and concise guide to understanding how the medical profession functions in a legal environment.The author very clearly has a vast knowledge base from which to draw upon. The book starts with an overview of the laws and the court system.It then covers important topics such as physician licensing, regulation and discipline, the priveleged doctor-patient relationship, informed consent, maintaining medical records and releasing medical records. Specific scenarios are reviewed for the private practitioner, hospital based practitioner and managed care settings.Of particular interest to me was the section on physicians as expert witnesses and testifying in depositions, hearings and in court.My medical school and residency training provided no education on these subjects or any of the mentioned topics.Sample medical malpractice interrogatories are listed in the book so that you may have an awareness of the types of questions and information that is sought during a deposition. The book also covers the subject of medical malpractice insurance and the process of filing a malpractice claim.After reading this book, you will feel much more confident about how you practice medicine and will experience peace of mind in knowing how to conduct your career within a legal framework.I highly recommend this book to all physicians, residents and medical students, and all individuals who work in the medical field.How did we ever get along without it! ...

the Bible for wage & hour law
As an attorney specializing in employment law, I use this book to answer questions about wage and hour law. It is written in easy-to-understandlanguage, accessible to any employer.Although it says it is forCalifornia employers, it also is a comprehensive analysis of federal law. I recommend it for employers in any state.I recently cleaned out mylibrary of all the books I haven't used in years.Only four books wereleft -- three of them by Richard Simmons.This book is on top. ...

An excellent concise summary of American labor law
This slim volume is an excellent, concise summary of American labor law.The labor law expert will learn nothing new from Gold's work but willnevertheless find it a handy quick reference. Gold's work is more of areduced precis of a labor law hornbook, and as such, law students will findit to be an excellent summary of a labor law course. That is, labor lawreduced to black letter law in clearly written sentences. Gold adeptlyreduces the opaque National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to its basiccomponents and clearly explains its major provisions. Keep in mind itstitle: An Introduction to Labor Law. Those seeking an in depth discussionof labor law will be disappointed and would do better to consult otherwork's such as Gorman's hornbook on labor law, but those seeking a basicintroduction, or a concise summary of the NLRA will find this an invaluablesource. Excellent as a review for a labor law final examination. ... Read more

Clueless in the Capitol
For those fascinated by the political process, Labored Relations may become the top comedy pick of the year.Prof. Gould, a fine labor law professor who has dedicated his life to showing unions, companies and workers what he believes to be a better way, consistently rejected the sincere attempts by all those around him who tried to show him a better way to move past the traps that bedevil anyone who decides to play Washington's political game.The book begins with a musing by Professor Gould as to why, as Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, he was being taken to task yet again by both liberals and conservatives during one of his many troubled appropriations hearings on Capitol Hill.But after 475 pages of labored musings, the reader will be even more amused to discover that the professor never does figure out the proper role of a member of the NLRB in our society.At one point he even asks himself what he likes least about being a professor and an NLRB member.Grading papers and dealing with his fellow NLRB members, he writes.Both tasks require a willingness to genuinely consider a point of view other than one's own, something the professor seldom does in his labored days in Washington.If you are interested in obtaining a political appointment in the next administration and want advice on how to make nearly every mistake possible during your tenure (including meticulously documenting your foibles in a memoir), be sure to buy this book.

mr. smith goes to washington
it seems to me that chairman Gould didn't get as much adulation and power as he thought he deserved. Perhaps the reason that he didn't get along with anyone, including his democratic friends in congress, the white house and the Board itself, says more about his style than theirs. ... Read more
