Focused squarely on the California Family Code, California Family Law integrates statutory law and judicial interpretation into a cohesive, general discussion of all aspects of the state's family law. Its practical, straightforward approach is designed to teach students the basics, and powerful pedagogy makes it stand apart from most books on California Law. Chapter Overviews and Summaries, exercises, Key Terms, hypotheticals, and a glossary combine with examples of all the key Judicial Council forms used in the practice of family law in California. Comprehensive coverage explores all the key topics and developments in this constantly evolving area of the law. California Family Law has long had a broad appeal for law school courses and law offices as well as paralegal programs. Teachers and students at all levels appreciate the carefully constructed pedagogy, while all users value the integration of statutory law and judicial interpretation in a practical, comprehensive approach.
