Family Law: Doctrine and Practice is a comprehensive textbook for the basic law school family law course and is streamlined to present little more than the essential doctrinal materials necessary to a complete understanding of the subject. The topics have been selected to cover all subjects tested on the family law section of the Multistate Essay Exam/Uniform Bar Exam. Multiple choice review questions are provided in every chapter to foster a better understanding of the material. And hypothetical problems at the end of each chapter can be used as the basis for a wide range of practical and practice-oriented exercises both in and out of the classroom.
