The Third Edition offers an up-to-date perspective on the family by incorporating discussions of the Marriage Equality Act and the Internet s revolutionization of the adoption process. Designed for paralegal students who desire an interesting and readable text on family law, the book builds on their existing knowledge base and skill sets to enhance their job performance. It helps students prepare to transition into the workforce by covering all phases of legal representation, from meeting with clients to preparing for trial.
