The Tenth Edition of the best-selling Cases and Materials on Employment Discrimination welcomes a new co-author, Stephanie Bornstein, whose contributions are reflected throughout. Like earlier editions, the tenth edition blends cases, notes, and problems into an integrated pedagogy that balances scholarly and practice perspectives. The authors build a conceptual framework for understanding how discrimination is defined in theory and proven in litigation. The text allows professors to explore particular interests more deeply and permits them to contrast a litigation approach with compliance, investigation, and counseling perspectives characteristic of modern employment law practice. The broad coverage integrates scholarship with legal doctrine. The useful Statutory Supplement is available for separate purchase. New to the Tenth Edition: Bostock v. Clayton County (prohibiting sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination as discrimination “because of sex”) Our Lady of Guadalupe School v.

Designed for use in courses that focus on deferred compensation plans and that offer a combined overview of pension and welfare benefit regulation. The organization of the chapter on health plans parallels the treatment of deferred compensation issues covered in other chapters. This structure highlights similarities and differences between ERISA's (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) limited regulation of welfare benefit plans and its far more extensive pension controls.

"This book has emerged ... from Maudsley and Burn's trusts and trustees: cases and materials, the seventh edition of which was published in 2008"--Preface.

Examines the whole spectrum of benefits that derive from an individual's employed status. Presents a basic theoretical foundation for evaluating the quality, cost, and desirability of mandated benefits. Views discretionary benefits as part of an employer's total package of compensation, and therefore as a cost attributable to labor. Text is designed to meet the needs of a first course with an emphasis on labor and employment problems.

This casebook offers an accessible introduction to modern employee benefits and executive compensation law, with primary emphasis on clarity and comprehensibility in presenting these technically challenging subjects. It is the first casebook to cover both employee benefits and executive compensation, two closely related fields that are frequently simultaneously practiced by American lawyers. The book is suitable for use either for a single overall survey class covering both employee benefits and executive compensation law, or for a class that focuses on either topic separately.

Cases and Materials on Company Law guides students through the complexities of company law with a broad selection of source materials that are placed in context through clear commentary. It covers all the principal areas of company law including the issue of securites and insolvency. The book concentrates on how the law facilitates and regulates the operation of companies, both large and small, reflecting the realities of current practice. To help students understand the signficance of the material presented, each section is preceded by a concise introduction. Similarly, each case is preceded by a statement of its legal significance and a summary of the main facts. The book has been fully revised to incorporate the groundbreaking changes to domestic company law as a result of the Companies Act 2006. The new edition has been made easier to navigate as a result of a new two colour text design that clearly differentiates extracted material from the authors' commentary.

This second edition of Cases and Materials on the Law of the Sea has been updated to address significant developments that have occurred in the law of the sea since the publication of the first edition in 2004. The text compiles cases, treaties, U.N. documents, commentaries, and other teaching materials that systematically present law of the sea topics while placing those issues in the broader context of international law and international legal process. The book incorporates relevant historical materials alongside materials addressing more recent topics, such as port security, the depletion of fish stocks, and the operation of new international institutions. Extensive notes and discussion questions engage readers and enhance their understanding of the materials.

ERISA, the detailed and technical amalgam of labor law, trust law, and tax law, directly governs trillions of dollars spent on retirement savings, health care, and other important benefits for more than 100 million Americans. Despite playing this central role in the US economy and social insurance systems, the complexities of ERISA are often understood by only a few specialists. ERISA Principles elucidates employee benefit law from a policy perspective, concisely explaining how common themes apply across a wide range of benefit plans and factual contexts. The book's non-technical language and cross-cutting conceptual organization reveal latent similarities and rationalize differences between the regulatory treatment of apparently disparate programs, including traditional pensions, 401(k), and health care plans. Important legal developments - whether statutory, judicial, or administrative - are framed and analyzed in an accessible, principles-centric manner, explaining how ERISA functions as a coherent whole.
