Family Law by Judith Areen
This sixth edition continues the long tradition of innovation for which this casebook is widely known and prized. Preserving the best of earlier editions, it delivers an up-to-date overview of U.S. family law that weaves together black-letter rules, policy, narrative, history, transnational sources, and theory into an accessible and teachable whole. The book is written to help teachers prepare their students to appreciate and engage family law's incredibly dynamic present, and to begin imagining how to actively shape its important, vibrant future.
“The Sixth Edition of Family Law is more than an update of prior editions – it reconceptualizes the field of family law for the 21st centuryThis new edition was made possible because I was fortunate to be joined by two leading members of the new generation of family law scholars: Professor Marc Spindelman, of Ohio State University, and Professor Philomila Tsoukala, of Georgetown University. Their fresh ideas and new perspectives have enriched and enlivened the casebook in ways that should enhance its value in the classroom. Through judicious use of new historical and social science material, this edition illuminates current controversial issues in family law, and for the first time places American family law in an international context.”
