School Law and the Public Schools: A Practical Guide for Educational Leaders (4th Edition)

After using this book for a masters class, I realized that I had inadvertently broken several laws and the district I work for did, too. I don't know why this is not something required for students in a teachers' program. Every teacher should know the law before entering the classroom. It would save a lot of trouble for the district and the teacher. If you haven't read a book on school law, I recommend this one. It's not as dry as it sounds and the author tries to write in a conversational manner that makes for a relatively easy read.

This book is a "must-have" for administrators! It is easy to read and includes all the information you need to know to be well-informed about current legal issues. I also ordered the Pocket Guide to take to school so I have one available for quick reference.

This is a very good book to introduce School Law to anyone who may be interested.

This book is very easy to read and is very helpful in understanding school law.

School Law & the Public Schools is at best an introduction to school laws. It is fine for undergrads, but for Master's programs it is lacking any real detail or substance. If you like the basics this one fills the bill. If you need in-depth knowledge go elsewhere.
