Liput, an attorney for more than 22 years in corporate and employment law, and his co-author Ruddy, a licensed psychologist, delve into more than just the cold, hard facts about various state and federal laws.

The book is printed in small format, to be easily carried in briefcase, purse or kept in a desk drawer for easy reference.
