June 3, 2009 – For more than 30 years, Wisconsin attorneys have relied on the Worker’s Compensation Handbook as the authority on worker’s compensation law. The newly issued sixth edition incorporates earlier supplements and highlights developments in the law since the publication of the 2008 supplement.

The Worker’s Compensation Handbook provides an in-depth treatment of worker’s compensation law and practice in Wisconsin. The handbook analyzes the legal principles of Wisconsin’s worker’s compensation law and provides authoritative citations to the most recent and significant Wisconsin cases, statutes, and administrative code provisions. Extensive appendices contain invaluable charts, tables, checklists, and forms, and hard-to-find information, including maximum wage/rate data going back more than 60 years.

Written by John D. Neal, who represents worker’s compensation plaintiffs, and Joseph Danas Jr., who practices in the defense of worker’s compensation claims, this book provides a balanced approach to worker’s compensation law and is a powerful tool that will save you time and simplify your work. The handbook’s practical, no-nonsense approach and its emphasis on the fundamentals of real-life practice and procedure make it Wisconsin’s most valuable resource on worker’s compensation.

The price of the Worker’s Compensation Handbook is $155 for members and $195 for nonmembers, plus tax, shipping, and handling. If you subscribe to the State Bar’s automatic supplementation service, you will receive a 10 percent discount on future updates.
