Laying Down the Law: Joe Clark's Strategy for Saving Our Schools by Clark, Joe. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780895267634.

Laying Down the Law is Joe Clarks dramatic story of how he cleaned up Eastside High School in Paterson, New Jersey, and how his prescription for reform can be duplicated by parents and principals working together to clean up their own neighborhood schools. This is more than just one mans story of what needs to be done to reform our nations schools. It is a call for people to care enough about their schools, their children, and our nations future to act with the neces-sary resolution and vigor to stem the pernicious tide of permissiveness, crime, and academic decline that Americans have accepted for far too long.
