The Concise Seventh Edition of Cases and Materials on Family Law offers students an accessible introduction to the field that follows its traditional and emerging forms. It delivers a streamlined presentation of cases and materials in a way designed to focus on family law cases and rules across the major highways of the field, rounded out by judiciously edited additional materials for depth and perspective. The Concise Seventh Edition updates and builds on earlier editions' well-known treatment of family law's many equality themes. The new edition features meaningful engagements at family law's intersection with different axes of inequality, including race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, and class. The Concise Seventh Edition also features a new introductory chapter and returns to the more comprehensive treatment of children in family law, especially around child welfare.
