Title: Concepts and procedures in whistleblower law
Description: "Stephen Kohn presents a comprehensive, unified examination of the 35 federal laws that protect whistleblowers and their rights plus the common law protections available in each of the 50 states. For the first time in one easily accessed volume, readers will find the basic principles upon which all whistleblower law is premised. Kohn lays out the basic legal principles applicable to almost every whistleblower case, such as the scope of protected activity and who qualifies for protection.

He shows what constitutes discriminatory conduct, what type of evidence demonstrates that improper retaliation occurred, the burdens of proof on both the employee and employer, how to calculate damages and attorney fees, common settlement and fundamental procedural issues - and much more, all in meticulously documented detail and an engaging style."--Jacket.
