Review # 1 was written on 2009-08-08 00:00:00 Michael Cusimano This text basically covers two points: the one about how all areas of human service work have some legal relationship that workers need to be aware of; and the one where a bunch of hypothetical circumstances are discussed in relation to the specific pieces of legislation that apply. There's not much else to it, and the latter style often becomes a series of lists that go something like "in this situation, the so-and-so act is relevant... while in another situation, the such-and-such act is relevant". I don't have anything against this book per se, but I don't have a lot to say for it either. I'm not someone who can understand why anyone would want to study law full-time, so it's no surprise that this 'light' law text would be an issue for me. While the relevance of law to social work is something I can appreciate, I wouldn't want to take it any further than this book and its corresponding uni course. So I'm not a fan of the barren nature that is law and all its legislative nuances, but this book managed to be interesting enough that I read it without many complaints. The chapters are short and there are helpful tips and that sort of thing peppered throughout. It's kind of small for a text of this kind as well, so that's another plus. My overall impression of the book is very ho-hum/easy come easy go... it feels like I could have learned the same amount of pertinent information in half the time... but at least it wasn't as dry as I thought it was going to be.
