Critical Acclaim
‘How should the law handle ostensible whistleblowers? And how, if at all, should the answer differ in the national security context versus other contexts, in private versus public realms, or for government employees versus government contractors? These questions are as timely as they are difficult and important. In Whistleblowing Law, Professor Robert G. Vaughn, himself a leader in the field, assembles a formidable group of experts to address them.’
