Law school casebook intended as an introduction to the field of family law, both at the abstract level of theory and at the concrete level of doctrine. It is an introduction as much for experienced lawyers and scholars who come to this field with a thorough knowledge of other aspects of the law as for law students who have just begun preparing for their careers.

Designed for use as a study guide in basic and advanced family law courses, this brief paperback provides the topical coverage of the major casebooks, and includes lucid explanations of basic concepts and reader-friendly examples. It distinguishes itself from others by offering conceptually developed text, rather than a skeleton of cases and statutes. The conceptual approach enables students to obtain a clear grasp of the fundamental concepts necessary to gain a mastery of the course materials. The author's clear, direct language walks the student step-by-step through the essential reasoning and analysis intrinsic to family law. With more than 380 examples to illustrate concepts, it explains legal terms, and the law as it pertains to: marriage and divorce; extended families; spousal support; child custody; reproductive rights; adoption; child abuse and neglect; the welfare system's role relative to children; parent's and children's rights The facts and impact of the milestone cases are cited and discussed clearly and in context. Examples are clearly delineated in the text and legal terms are highlighted for ease of use. FAMILY LAW: Essential Terms and Concepts makes the perfect accompaniment to any casebook in your family law course.
