Publisher's Synopsis
Over recent years there has been a decisive shift in the dominant concerns of family law in Ireland. It is now clear that the centre of gravity in family law has moved to the child, away from the husband and wife. Child Law provides a comprehensive overview of this dynamic area of law. It covers both civil and criminal aspects of child law. It provides useful checklists and advises on practical considerations, with particular emphasis on those aspects of child law which have proved to be the most important or difficult in practice. This new title also covers increasing problematic areas of juvenile justice, child abduction and education and the law covering both civil and criminal aspects of child law. It will be the definitive book on child law.
