(from the chapter) To compare and contrast the legal environment for personnel selection in various countries, the senior author prepared a set of questions about the legal environment for selection, prepared model answers describing the legal environment in the United States, and contacted psychologists in various countries, asking them to prepare a document responding to each question and describing the legal environment in their country. They were also invited to suggest additional project participants in other countries. Some invitees declined; some initially agreed, but subsequently did not participate. The goal was to obtain a range of perspectives by sampling about 20 countries, thus, this is by no means a complete catalog of the legal environment around the world. Researchers and practitioners who are experts on the topic of selection participated from 22 countries.
