Family Law

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Its broad coverage, interdisciplinary sources, notably strong problems, and exciting teaching materials have firmly established FAMILY LAW by Harris and Teitelbaum as a solid teaching tool for the basic family law course. Revised, streamlined, and reinvigorated for its Second Edition, this eminently teachable casebook now puts the most current materials in a more effective format to help you introduce your students to essential principles and practices.

Both students and instructors appreciate the authors' clear and straightforward approach:

—comprehensive coverage of all the key topics of marriage and divorce, including economic consequences, child custody, and support issues

—interdisciplinary materials to explore the complex influences on family law drawn from finance, genetics and demography, clinical psychology, social history, and legal and policy responses to domestic violence

—balanced presentation addresses immediate, cutting—edge issues (such as unmarried cohabitants or home schooling) while still focusing on family and the state, the role of various groups involved in resolving family law issues, and the effectiveness of law and instruments of law enforcement

—skillfully crafted problems immerse students in the real world of family law

FROM THE CRITICS

Booknews

A casebook intended for a basic course in family law, covering a broad area and considering a range of characteristics, particularly the dynamism of the field as doctrines concerning families, parents, and children and practices regarding divorce, marital property, spousal support, and custody continue to change rapidly. Harris (U. of Oregon) and Teitelbaum (Cornell U.) do not mention a date for the first edition. A third author, Carol A. Weisbrod, is listed in the CiP data, but nowhere else. Annotation c.
