Publisher's Synopsis
This volume is part of the "Legal Practice Course Guides" series which has been revised, expnaded and updated to take account of the many changes in legislation and course structure that have taken place over the last year.;Each guide explains the relevant substantive and procedural law and, where appropriate, contains sample precedents and checklists. The books provide a guide to the law, practice and procedure which is at the heart of the course, forming a bridge between the notes, exercises and case studies produced by each institution and the "raw material" found in the practitioner texts.;This guide provides an up-to-date account of the major aspects of family law which are likely to be encountered by the trainee solicitor in practice. The relevant substantive law is discussed, together with appropriate procedure and practice. Guidance is offered on avoiding common pitfalls, and students are encouraged to consolidate their knowledge with self-testing revision questions.;Jane Bridge is co-author of "Blackstone's Guide to the Children Act 1989".
