Family Law: Cases and Materials, 7th Edition
The Seventh Edition of Cases and Materials on Family Law offers students a comprehensive and engaging introduction to family law with a distinctive focus on how large-scale social inequalities structure, and are structured by, family law. The Seventh Edition spotlights issues of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, trans, and class inequalities—often at their intersections—across the entirety of the book in ways that mark the book as squarely in the present, but informed by a sense of history to help students imagine the future of family law. The Seventh Edition features a revamped introductory chapter with voices from across the political spectrum designed to get students excited about the course from day one, along with new materials on children, especially child custody and welfare, and comprehensive engagement with assisted reproduction. For student experience, the Seventh Edition includes a range of experiential tools, including problems on the financial aspects of divorce and support and a comprehensive divorce negotiation exercise, that give students a taste for practice in the field. All of this is supported by a detailed Teacher’s Manual that guides adopters through the casebook’s materials while offering thoughts on the legal, ethical, and pedagogical challenges that they raise.

Sixth Edition Professor Reviews
"The new edition of Areen, Spindelman, and Tsoukala's Family Law: Cases and Materials, is full of new material that both expands upon topics covered in earlier editions, and introduces new cases and other readings in cutting-edge areas such as comparative and international family law, same-sex and non-traditional relationships, assisted reproduction, and private ordering. It is accompanied by a highly useful and useable Teacher's Manual that includes helpful background and context about cases and larger policy questions, as well as concrete questions and problems for classroom use. The Sixth Edition has enhanced and reinvigorated my Family Law course, and I expect it will do the same for many others."

"Foundation Press has just released the Concise Sixth Edition of Family Law: Cases and Materials by Judith Areen, Marc Spindelman, and Philomila Tsoukala. This edition has several welcome features: it is now over 540 pages shorter, while having expanded coverage of family issues that might arise in the international context or when assisted reproductive technologies have been employed. Many new cases have been included, although the edition retains many of the cases from previous editions that were so useful in explaining and illustrating a variety of concepts. This edition discusses all of the issues that had been included in past editions, exploring some of them in greater depth, for example, child support. In short, those considering what to adopt for their basic family law course should give this text serious consideration."
