The problem-based approach of Labor Law: A Problem-Based Approach moves beyond lectures, the Socratic teaching model, and the casebook method, while developing the critical reasoning skills required to be a successful attorney. The problem-based pedagogical method will directly help students by synchronizing the way labor law is taught with the way it is typically tested. The book is updated through the end of 2016 and features the most important cases, documents, and articles for students to become proficient in the practice of American private-sector labor law.

This book serves as the perfect marriage between workers compensation theory and practice. While the book covers most of the traditional areas of workers compensation doctrine, it also dwells at strategic points to reflect upon the letter of the law. It dares to question doctrine and more importantly encourages even the beginning student of workers compensation to do more than passively receive rules. The author draws on his real world experience as a former injured worker and workers compensation attorney, and supplements that experience with his theoretical perspective as a teacher and scholar of administrative and employment law. The student is guided through cases by the use of probing introductory questions, reflection sections at the conclusion of many of the cases, and running commentary and interrogation by way of text boxes at critical junctures in the cases. The student becomes acquainted with a fictional injured worker, Ann Smith, early in the book and has the opportunity to reflect upon legally significant developments as her case becomes increasingly complex. In the final, problem-solving chapter titled In the Law Office, students are introduced to materials from actual cases, demonstrating even more concretely how the principles they are learning are applied in practice. The resulting product is a natural fit with other titles in the Context and Practice Series. Students are introduced to a body of law through explicit engagement with it, and through exercises and commentary meant to refine their understanding through contextual interaction with black letter rules.

Workers' Compensation Law: A Context and Practice Casebook (Context and Practice Series)

The third edition of Workers' Compensation Law continues to feature the book's unique blend of theory and practice informed by the Carnegie Foundation's research on educating lawyers in a manner unparalleled in other law school texts on the subject. Additionally, the new edition fleshes out the concepts of permanent partial disability and permanent impairment, two unstable yet critical ideas in workers' compensation law, and examines the volatility surrounding the question of which workers qualify as "employees" under workers' compensation. 
This book is part of the Context and Practice Series, edited by Michael Hunter Schwartz, Professor of Law and Dean of the McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific.
