Used by the entire industry, our treatise has a well-deserved reputation as the most comprehensive legal research platform and educational resource available. The sixteen-chapter set explains workers' compensation law thoroughly, yet in a straightforward style. It is available in both print and online versions.
In addition to the full text of the treatise, the electronic edition also adds a complete suite of benefits calculators, more than 75 hours of on-demand webinars (qualified for MCLE and CE credit) and is updated monthly to reflect the latest changes to state and federal law. It is accessible via web browser and mobile app.
