Employment Law [CORE TEXTS] (Business Law)
Employment Law [CORE TEXTS] (Management)

For courses in Employment Law, Labor Law, and Human Resource Management.

Moran approaches employment law with a clear introduction of legal principles explained in the layperson's language.  These principles can then be applied to understand judicial opinions in the extensive series of cases and examples that appear throughout each chapter.  The scenarios and human resource dilemmas challenge the students' critical thinking skills as they attempt to resolve the problems.

The Third Edition features extensive revisions on HR law, class actions, a new chapter on alternate dispute resolution, and a special packaging option with VersusLaw.
