Well, the book is not just 2013 case law. Which is great news, because it makes the book a handy resource for nailing down the basics (like the prima facie elements of assorted employment law claims, for example). As a desk manual for the basics, the book does a great job.
But, if you're like me, you can recite the Burlington retaliation standard from memory, and mumble the McDonnell Douglas burden-shifting framework in your sleep. I don't say this to brag (you'd be surprised how few people are impressed by this skill), but as a setup to illustrate where this book really shines.
Weighing in at 1290 pages of actual content (excluding index, table of cases, etc.), PLI's Employment Law Yearbook covers a broad range of topics from wage and hour to OFCCP to privacy law to guarding trade secrets to the ADA to . . . well, you get the idea. It covers a lot. Overall, the book is a great resource for the basics and cutting edge employment law developments alike.
Disclaimer: I did not receive any compensation aside from a copy of the book with a simple request to review it and provide my thoughts.
