Ms Lewis (and her previous co-author, Thomas Kibling) have been producing revised editions of this book for several years now.
Let me say right off the bat, I am directly involved in representing UK workers in employment law situations and this book has been my single greatest asset. I have been very successful over the years and I owe Ms Lewis' book for that. It is accessible (I am not a lawyer); practical and thorough. Not just that, it is inspirational. Several times it has been the springboard for me to approach cases in new ways. It is full of sample letters and advice on how to write to employers or tribunals; how to gather evidence; what to look for; what the key points of law in each area are. Absolutely invaluable.
Look out for other stuff she or the Legal Action Group may produce as it is all sound and practical advice. Be mindful of the date of publication as each edition is substantially updated.
If you represent UK workers in employment situations and you are serious about doing a good job - BUY THIS BOOK. It's THAT good.

I have never been at an Employment Tribunal in my life and knew very little (probably nothing actually)about employment law. I am in the position however, of having to take my employer to an ET. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Even if you are going to go to a solicitor I am a great believer that you should know enough about a situation to be able to ask the right questions and understand the answers. I went to a solicitor who set me on the right track and this book provided a wealth of information to enable me to 'run' an application for an ET myself. I've read other books Employment Tribunals (the Inns of Court publication is another one I'd recommend) and I'm a believer that no one publication can have all the answers, but this one has been the foundation to all the others for me - it's highly detailed, yet written for any reasonably competent person who is able to read. Books on the law and how a layperson can use it are very rare - this one delivers. My thanks to Tamara Lewis.

This is another excellent book from LAG. It sits perfectly alongside Cunningham and Reed's "Employment Tribunal Claims" also from LAG. While the latter helps newcomers enormously with tactics, Employment Law - an Adviser's Handbook goes into much more detail about employment law itself and how it has been and should be interpreted. It is written in an easy to understand style. No adviser's handbook would be complete without checklists to use when giving advice. This has just that. The lists are great for advisers as well as litigants in person wanting to make sure they have thought of everything

Excellent
Very little I can say about this book apart from excellent. I constantly read it and always refer to it. Very good for discrimination cases and for the novice.
