Book Description

1401848273 978-1401848279 November 18, 2003 2
This newly redesigned edition of Family Law: The Essentials, 2E, provides accurate, concise coverage of family law with an emphasis on practical paralegal skills and technique. The text presents all the standard topics that must be covered in a family law course, but does so in a briefer format than the comprehensive Family Law by the same author. It is ideal for use in shorter courses or for courses that supplement a text with state-specific material.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative but a little dry..., March 28, 2009
This review is from: Family Law: The Essentials (The West Legal Studies Series) (Paperback)
Covered many areas of family law but I found the reading a little dry. I would have prefered examples within sample fictious or factual case history instead of often just listing facts. Overall, though, very informative.

2.0 out of 5 stars find something more recent, February 27, 2011
This review is from: Family Law: The Essentials (The West Legal Studies Series) (Paperback)
I am using this book for my Family Law class and my professor has openly told us that she only chose this book because similar (more recent) books were very case-heavy & she did not want us to have to read 200-page chapters. We constantly have to refer to other sources because much of what is in the book is no longer true. I would not recommend this book, not because it is poorly written but because it is too old to refer to.
