CLE Books releases Wisconsin Governmental Claims and Immunities Handbook

The Wisconsin Governmental Claims and Immunities Handbook, State Bar CLE Books' newest title in its civil practice library, is available to guide you through governmental tort litigation. Use it to identify the various types of immunity, procedural requirements, and more. Don't be caught unaware by the notice requirements that are prerequisite to filing suit against the state. Now you won't be lost when venturing into the realm of claims against the federal government.

Written by seasoned governmental law practitioners, the handbook includes chapters on sovereign, governmental, and discretionary immunity; absolute and qualified immunity; local governmental immunity; recreational immunity; notice procedures; and the Federal Tort Claims Act. The handbook's thorough table of cases, table of statutes, and index enhance its usefulness. In addition, this book is the first to compile all the relevant governmental immunity statutes, both state and federal, in one handy resource.

Required reading for plaintiffs' attorneys and government attorneys alike, the Wisconsin Governmental Claims and Immunities Handbook is an essential resource for anyone dealing with a claim against a governmental entity.
