This is a "must have" book!
I have several of Terri's books, including the earlier edition of this one.But with this edition, Terri has added a CD-Rom that really makes a difference.There are a lot of really good legal writing books out there, but I think Terri's are exemplary.For anyone who is interested in legal writing or who wants to improve their writing skills, buy this book. ...

In the great tradition of liberty writings
The struggle for freedom is unending; tyranny constantly renews itself and dons new faces. With ease we can retrospectively see the brutality of monarchy, theocracy, communism, and chattel slavery, but each of those survived long enough to lead to widespread brutality and bloodshed. In its heyday, each was considered both practical and necessary by the elites and the hoi polloi.Read more

"The interface of education and law..."
Dr. Ellenmorris Tiegerman's insightful comments quoted above and in the preface to this text are seminal. Over at least the past 40 years, education and the law have become increasingly enmeshed. And yet, with the ever expanding emphasis on academic accountability, educators often find little time and inclination to pay sufficient attention to this "nexus, which is both conceptual and pragmatic in nature." It is more obvious to those of us who went to school before the late 60's, especially if we ended up working in the schools, how much case law by itself has changed the way business is done and defined for our schools such standards as "reasonableness," "good faith" and "deliberate indifference." The law has "intruded" so much upon us that we have become preoccupied in a generally uninformed way with it, even to the point of being frightened of it at times. Sarah Redfield is a pioneer in helping to make education law accessible to practitioners both of education and of law. I have long been a student of education law. I have taught it to administrators in training, and I use my understanding of it daily in my career as a public school administrator in a large high school. In my course, this book has become required reading. It fills an important place. As the author contends in her preface,"This book offers a first step." Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. once wrote that the law is not "a brooding omnipresence in the sky." Especially if you are an educator seeking to understand what the law truly has to say to our profession, this book is for you. It will not only get you started with a basic understanding; it will give you the means to remain a lifetime learner. You will find it both a readable text and a ready reference. ... Read more

Awful book, badly written, obviously unedited
This book is poorly written and unedited. It is riddled with grammatical errors; the captions for the illustrations and samples are misleading; often the text that can't be distinguished from illustrations because of inconsistent use of fonts and dividing rules.Read more
