Family law is a fast-moving and statute-driven area of law and a popular option for undergraduate and postgraduate study. This new edition of Core Statutes on Family Law remains focused on the essential statutes and nothing more, making it easily navigable and ideal for exam use.
'Frances Burton's Core Statutes on Family Law 2008–2009 is certainly one of the best statute books by providing an excellent selection of statutes together with a clear presentation. It is sure to become a favourite for students for years to come.' - Student Law Journal
