 One of the most comprehensive Employment Law texts December 20, 2008
I am currently at university reading employment law at postgraduate level, and this book is one of the set texts for my course. Unlike one of the other reviewers, I think this book is extremely accessible in its style and, also, comprehensive in its coverage of the subject matter. If you're studying employment law at postgraduate level, this is one of the few employment law textbooks that is written for Master's level students. (Another excellent text is Deakin & Morris Labour Law, however a new edition is desperately needed as the most recent (4th) edition was published in 2005). Therefore, Smith & Thomas is a more up-to-date choice and contains chapters on the new TUPE Regs 2006 and Age Regs 2006.
Excellent, would recommend to all employment law students July 14, 2008

Smith & wood's employment law is well written, interesting and not at all boring as the other review would suggest.
I used this book and only this book in my degree and got a 2.1. Some areas of employment law can be quite dry but that is no fault of the book. To gain the high grades you have to be prepared to do the reading and this book is extremely thorough, the writers' passion for the subject really shines through and makes it an interesting read.
The subjects are set out clearly. But if you are someone who likes bulletpoints and pretty diagrams etc then buy a nutshells book, but dont expect to get a good degree!
I will also be using this book for my masters degree in employment law.
 Truly the most inaccessible law text book June 7, 2008
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
Everything about this book is designed to make learning employment law a chore. From the poor layout and structure to the unengaging style of writing, this is certainly a text to avoid. I have yet to meet a single student with anything positive to say about this book and I can in no way recommend it. It seems I have paid 30 for something that will end up as a door stop.
