For class. Read most of it (all that was assigned!). I actually really enjoyed this text, haha. Not only was it extremely helpful for the purpose of the course, but I anticipate it indeed becoming a quick guide during my practice as an administrator. It was easy enough to follow without feeling completely overwhelmed by legal jargon or anything of the sort.
One note to make for humor's sake more than a genuine criticism is the abrupt delivery of details about certain cases. The text will mention hard hitting circumstances about assaults, injuries, suicides, and then move right along! Of course, this is a quick guide going over case law relevant to education, but it's an interesting reading experience. Rather jarring, to say the least. Comically so, I say.

I read this book for graduate school and rated it according to other educational texts.
This is a dense text, but it's very approachable in light of the content. I especially appreciated all of the historical examples provided to illustrate each of the legislative rulings. It was a bit repetitive at times, but ultimately I appreciated that since the knowledge is that critical and complex.
