Any book on education law is operating in a fairly competitive market. It must offer a new insight into subjects which have been covered many times before or it must appeal because of its individual approach to issues which require authoritative, yet digestible, treatment. ''Education: Law and Practice'' certainly meets these criteria.This is an excellent guide through the legal and administrative framework within which both local authority and grant-maintained schools operate.
