Items related to Family Law (Longman Law Series)
Appropriate for courses in Family Law, one of the most popular options on LLB courses. Also undergraduate and postgraduate courses in children's law, and courses on social work and social policy, where a knowledge of family law is needed.
The primary aim of the textbook is to explain the law, while at the same time informing students of the social reality in which the law operates and outlining the different theoretical perspectives from which to approach the subject. The book is fully up-to-date, and includes topics not covered adequately by existing books, such as the Human Rights Act and family law, the elderly, and the legal regulation of pregnancy.

This wide-ranging new textbook provides comprehensive coverage of family law relating to both children and adults in one volume. The author analyses the key principles of the current law in a context that is informed by the theories and realities of contemporary society. The result is a clear, highly relevant and high-value course book for students who develop a fascination with this contentious and dynamic area of law.
The author includes topics rarely treated in family law textbooks but of growing significance to family lawyers and society in general- in particular the legal regulation of pregnancy, the elderly, and the different forms of state protection of children. Family Law also provides detailed analysis of the significance of the Human Rights Act 1998 on various aspects of family law and discusses international conventions dealing with family issues. Each chapter ends with a summary of the main points covered, providing students with a useful tool for learning and revision. A bibliography is included at the end of the book.
Family Law is essential reading for both LLB and LLM options in family law and child law. Postgraduate students following the Diploma in Social Work and associated Masters level qualifications, as well as undergraduate students studying for the BA in Social Work, should also find the book helpful.
Jonathan Herring is a Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford and was formerly a Fellow in Law and Director of Studies at New Hall, Cambridge. He is a qualified (non-practising) solicitor. His research and academic interests also include criminal and medical law.
