About this title

From Booklist:

It has become fashionable, if not de rigueur, for pundits to bemoan our so-called litigious society and its costly consequences. In fact, a presidential advisory commission has documented a 17 percent increase in personal injury cases over a 20-year period ending in 1991. Over that same period, though, employment law disputes increased 430 percent. Some will argue that such lawsuits are brought forward simply to right wrongs. Others will charge that such cases and the threat of potential suits have hamstrung employers and resulted in outrageous settlements. Attorney Lusky is clearly among the latter. He lays down hard-line preventive tactics designed to keep employers out of court and spells out 10 "protective principles." Among them are "disclaim everything in your handbook, never fire a pregnant woman, there is no such thing as a `safe' workplace romance," and "it's never too late for union avoidance." David Rouse
