Family Law offers an engaging and debate-driven guide to the subject, with each chapter crafted by a team of highly experienced teachers writing on their specialist subject under the expert editorship of Ruth Lamont.

Each chapter is a superbly clear guide to the topic, structured around the key debates central to that topic, which are then explored in detail throughout the chapter. Students are thereby introduced to an enlightening range of perspectives on the key issues in family law today, allowing them to formulate their own opinions and arguments.

The social, economic, and political backdrop to each topic is also extensively discusssed to ensure that students' understanding is grounded in this essential context.

Family Law is a critical and modern guide to this dynamic subject.
