The information is presented in a sequential format and is easily understood until the last couple of paragraphs of each case where the authors give their opinion of the court’s ruling. It is difficult to understand what the courts actually decided. I often found myself wishing there would be a simple statement giving the final verdict. It is a good read until the ambiguous verdict, than frustration sets in.

As a Texas public school administrator, I highly recommend never spending a moment of your life reading this. There is a much better book called “An Educator’s Guide to Texas School Law.” If you’re a Texas educator, I would buy that book and avoid this one. This is a college text intended for LAW students. I was forced to buy this for a school law class as a part of my administration degree. What a waste of time. It’s nothing more than a book full of case law pertaining to public education in the United States. Things your SCHOOL LAWYER should know, but not necessarily you. Your lawyer should summarize and/or you should read a more to-the-point book summarizing it.
Short version: if you’re not a LAW student or a LAWYER, this book will do nothing more than bore you to tears.

Do not use this company. I will never use this company again. I ordered a book, paid for the book, and never received it. Upon complaint they said the book was still on it’s way and that I could return it upon arrival. It has been over a month since ordering and still no book. I want my money back.
