Litigator, teacher, and scholar 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. Mr. 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 a readable, engaging style.
Built upon Mr. Kohn's extensive practical experience and his
scholarly research and teaching, not only is the book an essential
resource for study and analysis of whistleblowing issues, but it is
also a step-by-step guide for conceptualizing and litigating them.
Attorneys with specialties in a wide range of fields involving
whistleblower law and related policy issues will find a thoughtful,
comprehensive examination, and an immediately applicable courtroom
aid. It will also be important for human resource executives, labor
union officers and attorneys, government contractors, and
recipients of government grants, university and government
libraries, federal agency executives and specialists, public
interest and good government organizations--and many others who
have become fascinated by this relatively new, but long-time
coming, branch of the law, how it developed, and how it is being
applied today.
