This casebook emphasizes doctrine, policy, and practice. It presents three central themes: the interrelated rights and obligations of children, parents, and government; ways the legal system assesses and uses children's competence to shape regulation; and the role of the child's lawyer. Volume covers several relevant international law issues, including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, international child labor, and U.S. tobacco exports to children overseas. The authors have devoted entire chapters to the representation of children, the meaning of "parent," abuse and neglect, the foster care system, adoption, medical decision-making, support and other financial responsibilities, protective legislation, and delinquency.

Corporate Finance: Principles and Practice takes a finance-oriented approach to this body of law, instead of the typical casebook approach. Students don't learn finance from the cases; instead, they first learn financial principles, and then apply the finance they've learned to analyze and understand the cases. The book emphasizes what students will need to know as lawyers practicing in the area -- with an emphasis on the contractual solutions employed to deal with the various conflicts and ambiguities that arise in the area.
