Lawby Raymond Wacks
Oxford University Press, UK 2008; US$ 8.95Law touches every aspect of our daily lives, and yet the main concepts, terms, and processes of the legal system remain obscure to many.

Research Methodologies in EU and International Lawby Tamara Hervey; Robert Cryer; Baldeep Sokhi-Bulley
Hart 2011; US$ 54.00Law research students often begin their PhDs without having an awareness of methodology, or the opportunity to think about the practice of research and its theoretical implications. Law Schools are, however, increasingly alive to the need to provide training in research methods to their students. They are also alive to the need to develop the research capacities of their early career scholars, not least for the Research Excellence Framework exercise. This book offers a structured approach to doing so, focusing on issues of methodology - ie, the theoretical elements of research - within the context of EU and international law.The book can be used alone, or could form the basis of a seminar-based course, or a departmental, or even regional, discussion... more...

A Manager's Guide to Employment Lawby Dana Muir
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 32.95Managers at all levels are constantly challenged to do more with fewer employees, to motivate diverse groups of people, and to face up to tough people problems in their workforces. An important key to managers' success is accomplishing these goals while protecting themselves and their companies from legal liability.

U.S. law, however, provides managers with broad discretion in many employment situations and in most cases helps ensure that managers perform their essential functions in a way that is fundamentally fair while still supporting company goals. A Manager's Guide to Employment Law will help managers make day-to-day decisions on... more...
