California Family Law 2021 Edition


Book Description

This is a comprehensive California family law book and THERE IS A COMPANION WORKBOOK. The California family law book contains ONLY CURRENT California statutes, California caselaw and California rules of Court. Unlike other textbooks on this subject, ALL OUTDATED material has been removed. The statutes are the actual current California laws and they are presented throughout the book in bold print. The California Rules of Court provide essential information about family law forms and court room procedures, yet most textbooks contain very little about these rules. This CALIFORNIA FAMILY LAW book is different because many California Rules of Court are included. They are also presented throughout the book in bold print.The cases in each chapter are actual current cases. They provide judicial interpretation of the laws and key family law concepts in an easy to understand format. "The author's style and organizational technique make this book easy to read, as well as interesting." Hon. C. K. Goldsmith, Judge of the California Superior Court (retired). Almost every chapter has its own topic. And each chapter includes a brief summary of that chapter on the first page. Professors and students will appreciate this prudently constructed pedagogy. Judicial Council forms are essential in California family law and the Judicial Council is already preparing many INFO forms with completion instructions. While there are some forms included, this book discusses the different kinds of forms. California State Court Commissioner Alan B. Clements (Retired) said: "I'm utterly stunned with the thoroughness of the book. Your tenacity in drawing everything together is simply unmatched by any effort that I have seen within the family law umbrella. I would think that your book should be used in every classroom in the state of California. Of significant interest to me was your Chapter on discovery. With all of the discovery issues I heard while sitting on the bench, your analysis supersedes the P's and A's that I have read and makes discovery crystal clear." None of the other books on the market today provide all of this CURRENT information. This is the one California Family Law book to have in your library. This is the only California Family Law book you will need.
