Family Law

More than forty years since its initial publication in 1978, the Seventh Edition of Cases and Materials on Family Law gives students an introduction to Family Law that follows the field's traditional and emerging forms in ways that are entirely fresh. Like earlier editions, the Seventh Edition weaves together cases, statutes, model codes, policy, narrative, history, transnational sources, and theory, in highly accessible ways, as it illuminates Family Law's dynamic relationship with the highly variegated social landscape on which it rests. The well-known strengths of earlier editions' treatment of Family Law's many equality themes have been updated and expanded to feature deep engagements at Family Law's intersection with different axes of inequality, including race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, and class.
