Family law is a fascinating subject that has developed rapidly over the last few years. In a short space of time, civil partnerships have been introduced, adoption law has been radically reformed, step-parents and unmarried fathers have gained new rights, and victims of domestic violence have been given greater protection. Keeping up to date is a difficult and demanding task.
"Family Law", now in its 5th edition, provides a comprehensive and authoritative account of the subject. In addition to dealing with the intricacies of statute law and case law, it considers the wider social and policy issues, the current family law debates, and proposals for reform. This new edition includes a wealth of new case law and coverage of recent reforms, such as the introduction of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004, the Civil Partnership Act 2004, and the Gender Recognition Act 2004.
Its new layout, with cases and statutes highlighted in separate boxes, makes it even more user-friendly. Chapter summaries aid understanding, and suggestions for further reading and lists of websites provide direction for further investigation and study.
"Family Law" is essential reading for undergraduates on Family Law courses. Students on Child Law, Social Work, Social Policy and Health Care courses will find it invaluable, as will postgraduates and those studying the subject for professional purposes.
